We describe Galois extensions with cyclic Galois group of order n in the case when the base field contains all nth roots of unity and has characteristic not dividing n. We show that all such extensions are radical. As an example we express cos 2π/7 explicitly using cube roots. Finally we mention the Kummer pairing.
