Eye of the Cyclops. The singular focus of addiction.
We talk about the monstrous cyclops as a metaphor for addiction and the hero Odysseus as a personification of self-control. This episodes discusses how a single eyed monster is capable of living within us, driving us, directing us and how we might deal with such a mythical, and yet very real, monster.

The Gods are Alive channel explores mythologies and their relevance in this modern age. Monsters and Gods may or may not be fictional, but they are very much alive in some form or another today. And whatever their driving force may be: love, hate, fear, jealousy, pride, humility… we cover it, learn from it, and hopefully, become all the better for it.

Author’s note: I’m very aware that the more common version of the story has Odysseus escaping from the Cyclopes by holding onto the bottom of the sheep as the sheep walk out the cave. I originally came acquainted with this story when I was younger by men shearing the sheep and wearing the fleece. Also, I can never understand how a fully grown man can hold onto a sheep and the sheep having no problem walking out as if everything is totally fine!
