In Homer's Odyssey, Polyphemus was portrayed as a cruel and terrible monster that devoured guests. Everyone who unluckily crossed his borders was eaten by him. This was evident when Odysseus and his companions came across the enormous cyclops. The reader discovers that the Cyclops is noisy, incredibly strong, hostile, and both bloodthirsty and violent when Odysseus and his men hide in his cave and finally face him.
Only Polyphemus is given a thorough description in the Odyssey. On his island, he reigns as king of the Cyclopes. The monocular gaze of the Cyclopes in the Odyssey seems to be a metaphor for the idiocy of ignoring different points of view and their implications.
