Polyphemus was the giant cyclops in The Odyssey.
He ate some of Odysseus' men which made him a bit peeved, so he got the big galoot drunk and blinded him in his sleep with a giant olive tree skewer. Odysseys and the rest of his men escaped the cyclops' cave by hiding under his sheep.
Polyphemus was the son of Poseidon the sea god. When daddy Poseidon found out what happened, he was justifiably miffed, which is one of the many reasons it toook Odysseys ten years to get back home.
