In Greek mythology, Polyphemus is famous from The Odyssey as a brutal, arrogant, and uncivilized man-eating giant. However, later pastoral myths also portray him as a tender, lovesick, and musical shepherd, showing a softer and more tragic side to his personality. Polyphemus is a giant and the most famous Cyclops in Greek mythology. He is described as a monstrous, uncivilized creature of immense size and strength, towering over ordinary men like a mountain peak. He loves and cares for Guest as his brother.

Poseidon is the God of the Sea is depicted with long flowing/braided hair, a prominent beard, sharp facial features, and a distinct water-made arm—a playful nod to a backstory comic where Kronos bit off his arm. In Greek mythology, Poseidon has a volatile, powerful, and moody personality that mirrors the unpredictable nature of the ocean. As the god of the sea, storms, and earthquakes, he is known for being intensely proud, easily offended, and quick to anger. But he is very loving and kind towards his children: Guest and Polyphemus.
