The Cyclops, Greek mythology’s “Round Eye” creature from ancient legends. They are known from famous tales such as the Odyssey where the protagonist Odysseus blinds a cyclops to escape imminent death and live to see another day. In modern times, you may picture the Cyclops as the cool glasses wearing, optic blasting, skilled fighting Scott Summers of the X-Men series. So, what happens when the Cyclops leaves the Mediterranean climate of Greece and migrate to the tropical weather of the Philippines? RESOURCES 1. Cyclops | Greek mythology. (n.d.).
