Vassilis Papavassileiou directs the only complete ancient Greek satyr drama that has survived antiquity.

Euripides’ Cyclops narrates the adventures of Odysseus on the island of Cyclops Polyphemus. 

When Odysseus, the resourceful and inventive hero of the Homeric epic Odyssey, arrives at the island of Polyphemus, he faces a society dominated by primitive instincts. A tale full of comical elements where human ingenuity and resourcefulness prevail over beastly power and brutal violence.
