Polyphemus, the Cyclops from Greek mythology, became lost at sea after Odysseus and his men blinded him to escape from his cave. In his anger and pain, Polyphemus called upon his father, Poseidon, to curse Odysseus. As a result, Poseidon created storms and obstacles that led Odysseus and his crew astray, but ultimately, Polyphemus himself was left stranded, unable to find his way home due to the wrath of the sea god.
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
Any son of Poseidon and a mortal woman is a demigod, as Polyphemus, Orion and Theseus. They did not belong to the sea. God of the sea - yes. Demigod of the sea - no.
