dialogue between cultures, mostly eyewitness accounts.

Who is Polyphemus?

A fearsome cyclops in The Odyssey, the villain of Handel's Acis and Galatea, a mismatched lover in Ovid's Metamorphoses -- we think he was just 'misunderstood'. And we think there might be a lot to learn from a man whose name means "many words and stories".
