Polyphemus

Polyphemus was a Cyclops and son of Poseidon. He had a run in with Odysseus in which he lost his eye. Polyphemus had a large flock of sheep.

History
Polyphemus lived on the Island of Sicily with many other cyclops. He fell in love with a nymph, who didn't return his feelings and in retaliation he killed her lover.

Meeting Odysseus
When Odysseus came to Polyphemus' island he didn't realise that the cyclops wasn't freindly and so became trapped in his cave. Odysseus stabbed Polyphemus in the eye with a burning hot stake. He was then able to escape without Polyphemus seeing him.
