What can be inferred about the Cyclops in this excerpt from Homer's Odyssey? The land of Cyclops first, a savage kind, Nor tamed by manners, nor by laws confined: Untaught to plant, to turn the glebe, and sow, They all their products to free nature owe: The soil, untill'd, a ready harvest yields, With wheat and barley wave the golden fields; Spontaneous wines from weighty clusters pour, And Jove descends in each prolific shower, By these no statues and no rights are known, No council held, no monarch fills the throne; But high on hills, or airy cliffs, they dwell, Or deep in caves whose entrance leads to hell. Each rules his race, his neighbour not his care, Heedless of others, to his own severe.

Wild animals as viewed from a mountain camp-Camille Grant, October 2011
Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled up beside them.
Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the
perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled
after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a
celebratory honk of the bus hom. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus
headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home.
