Line 1: Line 1:
Polyphemos is son of  [[Poseidon]] and a Cyclopes, a one-eyed giant.  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 human beings raw, and washes them down with either milk or wine. In ''The Odyssey'', he briefly captures  [[Odysseus]] and his men. With the help of [[Odysseus]]' cleverness, they get the giant drunk, blind him and and escape on the bellies of Polyphemos' rams.
