Oh, this is beautiful, OP!

[video description: line-drawn animation of the story of the Cyclops from the Odyssey. The Cyclops goes about his day, affectionately caring for his sheep. The Cyclops is happy with his life. He sits in front of his cave and looks toward the horizon, where he sees something approaching that he thinks is another Cyclops, so he sets the table with good food and puts out bedding for his guest. But the other Cyclops never arrives, and this makes the first Cyclops sad.

While the Cyclops is sleeping, the thing that was on the horizon arrives. It’s a Greek sailing ship that beaches itself. Warriors come out of the ship and wait next to the big rock that seals the cave. When the Cyclops rolls away the rock, the men sneak into the Cyclops’ cave. The Cyclops doesn’t see this, because he’s running to the beach to see what is there. He finds Odysseus’ ship and examines it, but finds nobody there. This confuses the Cyclops. He goes back into the cave with his sheep, rolling the stone across the entrance, sad that the guest he was expecting isn’t going to come. He drinks his wine then lies down in his bed to sleep.

While the Cyclops sleeps, one of the warriors who has been hiding in the cave stabs the Cyclops in the eye with a sharpened staff. The Cyclops leaps up in pain and fear and strikes out with his shepherd’s crook, trying to find who hurt him. The warriors escape the Cyclops’ wrath by hanging on to the underneath of the sheep as the sheep leave the cave. The Cyclops pats the sheep on the back as they leave, but instead of the affectionate pats of earlier, he’s now looking for the man who blinded him.

One of the men grabs a lamb as he runs toward the ship. The distressed ewe tries to follow as the lamb bleats in fear, but the man makes it to the ship and the ship pushes away from the shore, leaving behind a distressed ewe and an angry and sorrowful Cyclops.

The song that plays throughout is “Nobody” by Mitski. The song is about being lonely. At the point at which Odysseus and his crew arrive on the Cyclops’ island, the word “nobody” is repeated over and over and over. Then there are some more verses, but from the point at which the Cyclops is blinded, the only word sung is “nobody.”

The last thing in the video is a quotation from the Odyssey: “Nobody – that’s my name.”

Yes, a whole year late. Gosh. My sincerest apologies to the mod who made the mistake of entrusting me with this lol. And ofc to the winner who had to wait on me the whole time. It gave me more trouble than I expected, and I think I switched brushes like, three times during the process…. Anyway. 
Even though I probably should’ve been nagged about it a bit, I nevertheless appreciate your patience. So thank you. I hope it’s at least a little bit worth the wait.
