Hrefn Posted April 19 · Supporter Share Posted April 19 If I recall my Greek myths correctly, the cyclops Polyphemus, famous from the Odyssey, was the son of Poseidon and the nymph Thoos. Less well known is that Polyphemus later fell in love with Galatea, and although she initially spurned him because of his great ugliness, she eventually came to love him. They had a son named Mechanos. He was the first bicyclops, and inventor of the device pictured above. 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Anthos Posted April 19 · Member Author Share Posted April 19 From Yellow Submarine... George: Hey! There's a Cyclops! Paul: Can't be. It's got two eyes. John: Must be a "bi-cyclops" then. Ringo: There's another one. John: A whole "'cyclopedia"! 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
