Polyphemus, the cyclops in The Odyssey, is the son of Poseidon and a nereid named Thoosa.
To most, yes. You see, a cyclops are create by a god and a nymph. Though Poseidon is the most common father of cyclops.
poseidon is their father
Odysseus is curious as to what type of men the cyclops are, and perhaps wishes to receive gifts from the cyclops. He does not realize the danger of the cyclops until it is too late.
There is not a cyclops storm, but there are cyclones. For more information on cyclones, see the related link below.
Polyphemus is a single cyclops/person ; see related link to additional information . But there are more cyclopes.
I imagine that like people, the Cyclops' personalities varied, but they're generally assumed to be very brutal and not too bright.

Yes; related link below for more information.
Odysseus blinds the cyclops rather than kills him because he needs the cyclops to move the stone slab blocking the doorway, because it is too heavy to move himself.
A large boulder blocked the door of the cyclops Polyphemus' cave. The boulder was too large to be moved by 22 strong 4-wheeled wagons.Later, Polyphemus removes the borders, but blocks the entrance with his cyclops hands.
He's far too busy to have a job.
The cyclops (Polyphemus) has Odysseus and his men trapped in a cave. There is a large stone covering the entrance to the cave that is too big for Odysseus and his men to move. If he kills the cyclops, they will not be able to get out of the cave.
