Polyphemus is the son of Poseidon(god of the sea)
Polyphemus was not a god, he was the son of a god. His father was Poseidon, god of sea and earthquakes. Polyphemus was a cyclops. So to compare to you what Polyphemus is, he is to Poseidon what Hercules was to Zeus.
Thoosa a nymph and the daughter of the sea god Phorcys
Very interestingly, he eats several of his crew, only for Odysseus to blind him with a stick, so they can escape. As they sail away Polyphemus prays to his father, the god of the sea, Poseidon, to avenge him losing his eye, and so the great Odysseus is plagued for 9 years, lost at sea, encountering monsters etc, always wanting to return to his wife
