In a Sicilian song written in 2001, Aurelio Caliri related the well-known Homeric tale of Polyphemus, the one-eyed Cyclops who lived on the slopes of Mount Etna and the Greek hero Ulysses, from an unusual perspective.

As you may recall from the Odyssey, Ulysses and his companions had been imprisoned by Polyphemus in his cave on Mt. Etna and were being slaughtered and eaten by the monster. Ulysses succeeded in getting the Cyclops drunk and stuck a burning tree stump into his one eye while the giant was asleep.
