Polyphemus was the giant son of the god Poseidon and Thoosa in Greek mythology. He was one of the Cyclopes, having a single eye. According to the Odyssey, Odysseus arrived at the island of the Cyclops (Sicily), while trying to go back to his homeland, Ithaca.
This is Jenny. I've drawn her before, but she didn't have a nose.
She's a Cyclops and a descendant of Polyphemus (of Odessy fame).
As a remain voter not sure Trafalgar anniversary is p.c. but 16 British ships (see lamp-posts along The Mall) had classical names-Neptune, Agamemnon, Ajax, Orion, Minotaur, Spartiate, Mars, Bellerophon, Colossus, Achille, Polyphemus, Euryalus, Naiad, Phoebe, Sirius, Britannia)

In honor of #Borderlands3 coming out. I wanted to Draw Cc in her original form/design since she was originally a Borderlands Oc.
Meet 'The Cyclops" She is a sniper class and can make the most out of single bullet.🎯 Her Maliwan snipers' name is Polly (a nod to Polyphemus)💜
“percy, were going to polyphemus’s island! polyphemus is an s-i-k... a c-y-k...” she stamped her foot in frustration. as smart as she was, annabeth was dyslexic too. we could’ve been there all night while she tried to spell cyclops.

@GuyLongworth Gustave Moreau "Galatea" c1896
Sea nymph Galatea, the fairest of all, loved mortal Acis. Cyclops Polyphemus had his lecherous eye on her, so crushed Acis' head with a stone. Galatea immortalised her beloved as a water sprite, whose blood would flow as a river forever more
Galatea, “ she who is milk-white “.
Galatea is also the name of Polyphemus's object
of desire in Theocritus's Idylls VI and XI
and is linked with Polyphemus again in the myth
of Acis and Galatea in Ovid's Metamorphoses.

Galatea (circa 1880) by Gustave Moreau
