[1] Polyphemus was the son of the Lapith chief, Elatus,[2] by Hippea and thus, possibly the brother of Caeneus, Ischys and Ampycus.
[4] Polyphemus, as a Lapith, was remembered for having fought against the Centaurs in the days of his youth.
"[6] No trace of such an oral tradition, which Homer's listeners would have recognized in Nestor's allusion, survived in literary epic.
[8] Having settled in Mysia, Polyphemus founded the city of Cius, of which he became king.
Later, however, he set out to search for his fellow Argonauts and died in the land of the Chalybes.
