Polyphemos: Difference between revisions

Polyphemos is son of  [[Poseidon]] and a Cyclopes, a one-eyed giant. He lives in an island of Sicily. He is presented as a member of a race who does not have any laws and does not acknowledge the gods. In ''Homer'', Polyphemos is portrayed as a savage giant, who eats humans beings raw, and washes them down with either milk or wine. In ''Odyssey'', he briefly captures  [[Odysseus]] and his men. With the help of [[Odysseus]]' tricky mind, they get the giant drunk, blind him and finally succeed in escaping from his cave.
