在从特洛伊战争回家的航程中,奥德修斯和他的船员们迷失了方向,在西西里岛的埃特纳山停了下来,那里居住着被称为独眼巨人的原始独眼巨人种族。 他们遇到了萨提尔(组成剧中的合唱团)和他们喝醉了的父亲西勒诺斯,他们被一个特别的独眼巨人(波吕斐摩斯,出自《圣经》)奴役。 "《奥德赛》" 尽管他在整个过程中只被称为 "独眼巨人")。

奥德修斯提出用酒来换取饥饿的船员的食物,尽管食物不是他的,但狄俄尼索斯的仆人无法拒绝更多的酒的承诺。 当独眼巨人到达时,西勒诺斯迅速指责奥德修斯偷了食物,以所有神和萨提尔的生命发誓他说的是真的。

尽管一个更年轻、更现代的萨提尔努力将真相公之于众,但愤怒的独眼巨人还是将奥德修斯和他的船员赶进了他的洞穴,并开始吞噬他们。 奥德修斯对他所看到的一切感到震惊,他设法逃脱并策划了一个计划,让独眼巨人喝醉,然后用一根巨大的火钳烧掉他的单眼。

独眼巨人和西勒诺斯一起喝酒,试图在他们的努力中超越对方。 当独眼巨人真正喝醉时,他把西勒诺斯抢到他的山洞里(估计是为了满足性欲),奥德修斯看到了执行其计划的下一阶段的机会。 萨提尔们提议帮忙,但当时机真正到来时,他们又以各种荒谬的借口退缩,而恼怒的奥德修斯让他的船员帮忙,在他们之间,他们成功地烧掉了独眼巨人的眼睛。

失明的独眼巨人大叫着说他是被 "No-one"(奥德修斯第一次见面时的名字)弄瞎的,萨提尔们取笑他。 然而,自负的奥德修斯错误地说出了他的真名,虽然他和他的船员们成功地逃脱了,但奥德修斯在回家的航程中面临的其他麻烦都是由于这个行为,因为独眼巨人是波塞冬的孩子。

虽然该剧有一些内在的优点,但对现代读者来说,它的主要兴趣在于作为唯一剩下的完整的讽刺剧传统的标本。 讽刺剧(不要与 "讽刺 "混淆)是古希腊的一种不敬业的悲喜剧形式,类似于现代的滑稽剧风格,以讽刺者(潘和狄奥尼索斯的半人半羊的追随者,他们游荡于树林和山脉),并以希腊神话为主题,但包含喝酒、公开的性行为、恶作剧和一般的欢乐等主题。

在雅典的狄奥尼亚戏剧节上,萨提尔剧目是作为每部悲剧三部曲之后的轻松后续剧目,以释放前面剧目的悲剧张力。 英雄们会用悲剧性的回文诗说话,显然对自己的处境非常认真,与萨提尔的轻率、不敬和淫秽的言论和滑稽行为形成对比。 使用的舞蹈是通常以剧烈和快速的动作为特征,模仿和讽刺悲剧中高贵和优雅的舞蹈。

这个故事直接取自《圣经》第九卷 荷马 's "奥德赛" 勇敢、冒险、足智多谋的战士奥德修斯、粗野的独眼巨人、醉醺醺的西勒努斯和懦弱放荡的萨提尔等不和谐的因素被结合起来。 欧里庇得斯 以罕见的技巧成为一件和谐之美的作品。
