Odysseus and Polyphemos

A Fountain of Domitian was erected in 92-93 AD to the south of the Pollio Monument, the façade facing the Domitian Square was decorated with statues brought from other monuments. An example was a group of Odysseus and his comrades and Polyphemos, the one-eyed giant who was blinded by them.

Originally a temple fronton of the Isis temple at the State Agora, after Emperor Augustus had the Isis temple torn down.

In the garden a reconstruction was on show of this group, I found a 1992 picture illustrating what then was the supposed setting. I for years accidentally grouped it with the Pollio Fountain. Sorry.
