Seller's description

Guests ate my cheese. Rude. A chibi storybook-watercolor Polyphemus tee for Greek mythology fans, classics teachers, sheep lovers and anyone who has ever had guests help themselves.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
In Book 9 of Homer's epic about Odysseus's voyage home, Odysseus and his crew walk into a cave full of baskets of cheese and pens of lambs, and help themselves to the cheese while they wait for the owner to come home. The owner turns out to be Polyphemus, a one-eyed giant shepherd.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
- Funny Greek mythology shirt: the watercolor chibi Polyphemus, a one-eyed giant shepherd with messy brown curls and a beard, in a fluffy sheepskin tunic with a big shepherd's crook, a round wheel of cheese and a little lamb, says "Guests ate my cheese. Rude."
- For Greek mythology fans, classics teachers, sheep lovers, cheese lovers and anyone whose guests helped themselves
- Big, bold speech-bubble joke, with the design printed about 10 to 11½ inches wide, depending on size, so it reads across the room
- Original chibi watercolor art by Honeyman Tees: a single big brown eye, a messy beard, a sheepskin tunic with a rope belt, a wooden shepherd's crook, a big wheel of cheese and a fluffy little lamb
- Soft, comfy tee, made to order and printed to last; a fun mythology gift
