Euripides, Cyclops, Dionysus, wine, symposiumAbstract
The plot of Euripides’ satiric drama Cyclops takes as its base the mythical episode of Odysseus and the Cyclops. One of the main themes of the play is the confrontation between the civilized world of the hero and the monster’s wildness. This confrontation becomes very important by the hospitality and the symposium. We pay special attention to that latter point because, besides the fact that the Cyclops is ignorant of wine gives to Odysseus the possibility of escaping, Dionysus becomes an active character in the satiric drama by his identification with his most important attribute, the wine.
