Inktober 2020 -Day Nine – Throw

I have mixed feelings for my solution to today’s prompt, “Throw”. While I’m perfectly happy with the picture. Illustrating a scene from the Odyssey, even though it has a monster in it, doesn’t feel very Halloween-y. Besides, I’d already done a picture with a giant for this series.

Other than that, I am not ashamed.

In today's Inktober drawing the giant Cyclops, Polyphemus, continues to throw rocks at the fleeing Odysseus.

‘Hear me, Poseidon, girdler of the earth, god of the dark hair, if indeed I be thine, and thou avowest thee my sire,—grant that he may never come to his home, even Odysseus, waster of cities, the son of Laertes, whose dwelling is in Ithaca; yet if he is ordained to see his friends and come unto his well-builded house, and his own country, late may he come in evil case, with the loss of all his company, in the ship of strangers, and find sorrows in his house.’
