Cyclops (The Myth Makers)

Cyclops was a mute servant of Odysseus who worked as a spy during the Trojan War in circa 1200 BC. (TV: The Myth Makers) By one account, his real name was Homer, with "Cyclops" being an improvised alias. (PROSE: The Myth Makers)

When Steven Taylor was captured by the Trojans, he tried to send a message to Odysseus by way of Cyclops. While heading towards the Greek camp, Cyclops encountered two Trojan guards. Cyclops attempted to flee, but was hit by an arrow shot by one of the guards. (TV: The Myth Makers)

By another account, he survived, and eventually found fame as a poet, writing the Iliad. Years later, when Homer was a blind, elderly man, he was visited again by the Doctor, and finally recounted his side of the story. (PROSE: The Myth Makers)
