Homer's Odissey a Fraud!


According to a certain Mrs. Polyphemus Cyclops, resident of a small greek island located of the coast of Santorini, between Charybdis and Scylla, her son, Odysseus Jr. (see photo) is the living proof that the account related in Homer's Odissey regarding the ferocious one-eyed beast who kept Odysseus prisoner and ate his comrads is completely false.

Mrs. Cyclops insists that Odysseus and his crew were on the contrary very well received when they shipwrecked to her front door 2800 years ago. In fact, they enjoyed very much their stay on the island and would have remained but when Odysseus found out he was to be a father, he sheepishly escaped through the night leaving Mrs. Cyclops blindfolded and tied to the bed...

According to Professor Hakan Ciuçu of the Mediterranean Institute of Mythology, the story could in fact be true since the average cyclops life is around 5000 years.
