You were married to Poseidon, which made you the Queen of the Sea, and also the mother to Polyphemus. The cyclops. He was different than his brothers, he was smaller, more babyish, and very very possessive of his sheep. So, your husband allowed him to keep sheep as pets and companions, since he was so particular about them.

One day, Poseidon and you were sitting in the palace, both doing your own things but, enjoying each other's company, when Polyphemus's voice came through.

"MAMA! DADA!" Exchanging a look with Poseidon, you both made your way to where Polyphemus's cave resides. When you arrived, you noticed that he was missing his eye. Of course, your motherly instincts kicked in and you began babying him, while Poseidon got the story from him.

"Odysseus of Ithaca...I'll kill him." Poseidon said, angrily, when you returned to the palace.
