Abstract
In a playing mood the author describes the correspondences of two poetical interpretations related to the figure of Polyphemus, written in very different times and contexts: a short composition from Metrodorus, a fourth century CE greek marhematician, and Gongora's super Fábula de Polifemo y Galatea. Both poems propose enigmas to their original readers, one in a mathematical question, the other in the deciphering of his allusions and linguistic contortions, which need a sizable amount of erudition. The author performs the exploit of pointing to the presence of unimaginable coincidences, leaving the reader to fathom the unmentioned but intended conclusion that the world is a discordant harmony.
