In Greek mythology, Polyphemus was the one-eyed giant son of Poseidon (the god of the sea, rivers, earthquakes, and horses) and Thoosa (the sea-nymph). He lived on a western island (usually identified as Sicily) with the other so-called Sicilian Cyclopes.Polyphemus is best known for his pivotal role in Homer's Odyssey. When Odysseus stopped at the island of the Cyclopes on his way home from Troy, Polyphemus imprisoned him and his men. To escape Odysseus plied him with wine and as he slept plunged a burning stake into his eye. The blinded giant tried to prevent Odysseus' flight by tossing boulders at his ship but failing that. And from that time forward Poseidon was angry at Odysseus.Later traditions imagined Polyphemus in a somewhat pathetic love triangle involving the beautiful nereid-nymph Galatea. In his Metamorphoses, Ovid (43 BC - c. 18 AD) describes the blind rage that Polyphemus flies into upon spying Galatea and the mortal Acis during their lovemaking. In his enraged state, Polyphemus crushes Acis with a rock, with Galatea fleeing into the water. She returns only briefly to change Acis into the spirit of the Sicilian river.
