Homework: Dear parents/ guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework. 

Option 3: Collections:  the cyclops

In the next land we found were Cyclopes,

giants, louts, without a law to bless them.

In ignorance leaving the fruitage of the earth in mystery

to the immortal gods,  they neither plow

nor sow by hand, nor till the ground, though grain

wild wheat and barley grows untended, and

wine-grapes, in clusters, ripen in heaven’s rain.

Cyclopes have no muster and no meeting,

no consultation or old tribal ways,

but each one dwells in his own mountain cave

dealing out rough justice to wife and child,

indifferent to what the others do. . . .
