The story of “Tepegöz” refers motivically to the song about the cyclops Polyphemus from the Odyssey:

Tepegöz, the barbaric “crown eye”, is the product of rape. He fulfills the curse of his violated mother and murders his foster parents, the Oghuz. His foster brother eventually turns on him.

Marc Sinan takes up this conflict about guilt and revenge for a musical-archaeological radio play, which at the same time mirrors the myth via documentary material: Alongside traditional songs from Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, Istanbul intellectuals tell their version of the myth, which generally raises the question of how society comes to terms with an indelible guilt and can be applied, for example, to the genocide of the Turks against the Armenians.
