This is a 3D model of an ancient marble sculpture in The Museum of Fine Arts Boston. This sculpture depicts Polyphemus, the man-eating Cyclops from the legend of Odysseus. This depiction is different then normal ancient depictions of Polyphemus due to his peacefulness. This may have been when the the cyclops saw the nymph Galatea before he was blinded by Odysseus. This statue was made c.150 BCE or later.
