In Homer’s Odyssey, Cyclops Polyphemus is known to be the first person to prepare feta cheese. Polyphemus allowed his sheep to freely graze and he spent his days tending to his ani mals and to his land. One day, he was carrying milk that he gathered from his sheep that was wrapped in lambskin. When he opened the milk to inspect it, the milk had curdled and thus, feta cheese was born.
