Which quality of ancient Greek monsters does the Cyclops have in the book Odysseus?

In "The Odyssey," the Cyclops, specifically Polyphemus, embodies the ancient Greek quality of being both fearsome and uncivilized. He is a giant with immense strength, representing the chaotic and unpredictable forces of nature. Additionally, his lack of hospitality and disregard for the customs of xenia (guest-friendship) highlight the dangers of barbarism in contrast to the values of Greek civilization. This duality makes him a formidable adversary for Odysseus, showcasing the themes of cunning versus brute strength.
