In the "Odyssey," Homer describes the Cyclops, particularly Polyphemus, as a large, brutish creature with a single eye in the middle of his forehead. He lives a solitary life in a cave, lacking the social structure and civility of human beings. Polyphemus is portrayed as savage and violent, exhibiting immense strength and a lack of hospitality, which contrasts sharply with the Greek value of xenia (guest-friendship). His character embodies the themes of barbarism versus civilization in the epic.
In Homer's Odyssey, the cyclops is called "Polyphemus". He is the son of Poseidon, the earth-shaker, the god of the seas.
Cyclops were a race not an individual. In Homer's Odyssey, the hero Odysseus encounters the Cyclops Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon and Thoosa (a nereid), The other Cyclopses were offspring of Gaia.
Polyphemus is the Cyclops that Odysseus blinds in Homer's "The Odyssey". He is the son of Poseidon, who makes Odysseus his sworn enemy after Polyphemus realizes that's who blinded him.

Some people think Homer's character was in the Odyssey, because the name Homer is often associated with the Odyssey. It is a misunderstanding.
Odysseus used a flaming stake to poke out the cyclops Polyphemus' eye in Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey."
Polyphemus says to his fellow Cyclops that he has been blinded by "Nobody" when he is attacked by Odysseus in Homer's "The Odyssey." He then calls for help from the other Cyclops, but when they hear him say that "Nobody" has hurt him, they assume he is fine and do not come to his aid.
Cyclops in Greek mythology fears nobody, as his power lies in his single eye and strength. However, some interpretations suggest that he might have feared the hero Odysseus, who outsmarted him in Homer's "Odyssey."
No. The Cyclops lived on an island and was encountered by Ulysses in Homer's The Odyssey as he was trying to get home to his son and his wife Penelope. Ulysses men are caputred by the cyclops while trying to steal sheep and escape by blinding him and immediately leaving the island.
