In Greek mythology, what cyclops was blinded by Odysseus?

In Greek mythology, Polyphemus is the Cyclops blinded by Odysseus.

The episode appears in Book 9 of Homer’s Odyssey, an epic generally dated to around the 8th century BCE. Polyphemus is portrayed as a huge, one-eyed shepherd and the son of Poseidon and the sea nymph Thoosa. When Odysseus and his companions enter the Cyclops’ cave, Polyphemus traps them with a massive stone and begins eating the crew.

Odysseus eventually offers the giant strong wine and says his name is Outis, meaning “Nobody.” Once Polyphemus falls asleep, Odysseus and his men heat a sharpened wooden stake and drive it into the Cyclops’ eye. When Polyphemus cries for help, he says “Nobody” is hurting him, so the other Cyclopes misunderstand the complaint and do not intervene. The men then escape beneath the giant’s sheep.

The names Steropes and Brontes are a common source of confusion. They are among Hesiod’s three divine Cyclopes, famous as makers of Zeus’s thunderbolt. Arges is the third. Homer’s shepherd Cyclopes are a different group from those craftsman brothers.
