The cyclops Polyphemus from The Odyssey tending his flock.

I once read that the Greeks based the cyclopes off of elephant skulls, so I wanted to show a bit of the elephant influence in my design.

haha. Thanks man! I thought it would be funny to juxtapose them with the big ugly looking cyclops. Unfortunately they also sort of look like an afterthought (which they really were...)

haha. Yeah. It's pretty cycloptic. I saw a mold of one at a zoo when I was a kid. It was almost creepy.

His flock of two sheep. That's a big responsibility. I know you want to have sheep, Polyphemus, but you realize that you're going to have to take care of them, right? Let's start you off with two.
