And thence we sailed forward grieved at hart. And we came to the land of the Cyclopes, overweening and lawless, who, trusting to the immortal gods, set no plant with their hands, nor do they plough, but things grow all unsown and untilled, wheat and barley and vines, which bear the thick clustering grape, and the rain of Zeus fosters it for them. And they have neither meeting places for council nor places of justice, but they dwell on the peaks of lofty mountains in hollow caves, and each one gives the law to his children and wife, and they reck not of each other.
