Polyphemus

Polyphemus By: Eric Givens Polyphemus according to Greek mythology was the son of Poseidon and the nymph-thoosa. In all of my research on Polyphemus I have found that he has no powers, nor does he have symbols. But besides his enormous size and his herding of goats and sheep. He has no other powers and symbols The Cyclopes definition means round eye. A mythical semi-human monster of huge proportions. A single eye at the center …

…and waits at the door. So Odysseus and his men cling to the bottom of the sheep escaping from polythemus. Then polythemus shouts and pounds so the other cylopses come to his call and they ask what is the matter and he says that I am blined by nobody. And they say then what is wrong and polythemus says, “no I was blinded by nobody”. So they leave him alone at that point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
