About Cyclops
Both Greek and Roman mythology have a character called Cyclops. Cyclops is a giant with a single eye in the middle of the forehead. Cyclops appeared in Homer’s epic poem as Odysseus battled him in order to get home to his wife and child. Cyclops means circle eyed. Many of the poets of early history described Cyclops in their poems. Even Virgil had his own version of the Roman mythical creature. Historians believe the idea for the mythical creature came from the blacksmiths. These men would wear an eye patch over one eye in order to protect themselves from flying sparks. It was thought the patch would at least protect one eye from becoming blinded. Others think it may have something to do with a prehistoric dwarf elephant. These skulls were found in Cyprus, Crete and Sicily. The skulls were twice the size of humans, but un- educated people may have thought the center of the head was the eye, rather than the side of the skull.
Dressing up as Cyclops
Already you have some information about what Cyclops might have looked like. You know one eye in the center of the forehead is needed, and that Cyclops was a giant. Giants in mythology are often not too intelligent. Thus your clothing would reflect that of a low peasant. A brown tunic, with the Cyclops mask, and padding for your arms and legs will help you create the right look. The costumes come in both children and adults sizes. If you are going to have Cyclops you will also want to bring Hera and Zeus along to the party!
