Polyphemus is a Cyclops in Greek mythology, known for being the son of Poseidon. He is typically depicted as having only one eye in the middle of his forehead. Polyphemus' brothers are not specifically named in most versions of the myths. However, in some accounts, he is said to have several other Cyclops brothers who share his characteristics.
