Homer
Odyssey
 * 1.68–73
 * Nay, it is Poseidon, the earth-enfolder, who is ever filled with stubborn wrath because of the Cyclops, whom Odysseus blinded of his eye— [70] even the godlike Polyphemus, whose might is greatest among all the Cyclopes; and the nymph Thoosa bore him, daughter of Phorcys who rules over the unresting sea; for in the hollow caves she lay with Poseidon.

 * 71-3. Polyphemus' mother Thoosa seems to be a ad hoc invention, her name recalling the swift movement of the waves; cf. the Phaeacian Thoon (Viii 113).
