View of Grotto of Tiberius From Villa Ruins

If you look carefully inside the grotto, you can see two separate interior caves. Far back inside the right-hand cave, Tiberius' guests would have seen the sculpture depicting Odysseus blinding Polyphemus as he slept. Just inside the entrance of the main, or front, cave stood a sculpture of Scylla, Odysseus and his companions. Smaller statuary groups stood to the right and left inside the main cave. Today a replica of one of the ancient statues stands atop the entrance to the main cave.
