- Polyphemus is a character from Greek mythology and is one of the Cyclopes, giant creatures with a single eye located in the center of the forehead.

Polyphemus is most famous for his role in the episode of Homer's "Odyssey". He is the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and a nymph named Toosa. Polyphemus is described as a giant with an imposing physique, with a single large eye placed in the middle of his forehead. This single eye gives him a unique and recognizable appearance among Cyclopes.

In the "Odyssey", Polyphemus appears as a cruel shepherd who traps Odysseus (Odysseus) and his companions in his cave and holds them prisoner. His behavior is brutal and savage. However, Ulysses, with cunning, manages to defeat Polyphemus by blinding his only eye with a long wooden rod. Polyphemus, screaming in pain, calls upon his father Poseidon for revenge, leading to further vicissitudes for Odysseus and his companions on their journey home.

Polyphemus is an iconic character in Greek mythology, representing the brute strength and brutality of the Cyclopes. Its story has become an integral part of the legend of Odysseus and his adventures in Homer's "Odyssey".
