Polyphemus
This is Polyphemus the Cyclops from about 150 A.D.
One site says he is holding onto one of Odysseus’s companions. They felt the pan flute was mistakenly added much later during a restoration when they mistakenly thought it was called “pan and child”. Quite curious. With the foot on the leg of the person.
