Review by Scott Bruce, Fordham University. sbruce3@fordham.edu

Part scholarly monograph, part love letter to a monster, this book is
an exhaustive account of ancient stories about one-eyed giants, their
depiction in classical art, and their reception in the western
tradition from antiquity to the twentieth century.
