polyphemus

Also, Odysseus did not commit hubris- he pissed of Poseidon by killing his son, Polyphemus the Cyclops.

These aren't the Limulus Polyphemus of the North Atlantic, I think they mean one of the other (Pacific?) three or so species of horseshoe crab.

Because, after all, Polyphemus had tried to eat Odysseus (and ate some of his comrades) so it was a fair fight.

All of his men end up devoured by Polyphemus or other monsters, drowned or worse..

Just look at Book Nine: the Lotus Eaters and Polyphemus incidents are totally Odysseus' fault.

Let's call it Polyphemus and its interesting moon Pandora.

Winds on Jupiter can exceed 100 meters per second, so the winds on Polyphemus would have to exceed 5000 m/s – this is supersonic and clearly implausible.

They didn't have computers back then, but Odysseus used a logic-breaking name "Nobody": so Polyphemus shouted that Nobody was trying to kill him.

The only two examples I can think of are the suitors and Polyphemus, but the text refers to Odysseus being cunning against these foes rather than “morally justified”.

The cyclops Polyphemus and the giant Antaeus, slain by Heracles, are porbably the only examples of "orcs" that could be plausibly identified in Greek mythology.

This is especially important because he's previously successfully fooled Polyphemus by calling himself Οὖτις ('Nobody'), which produces trouble when the Cyclops tries to get others to help defend against "Nobody's" attacks.

On the contrary, most of its stories relate to extremely tales and folklores - ie Polyphemus.

My favorite example is that we had to make a diorama based on the Iliad, and I did Polyphemus’ cave.

It's pretty obvious Odysseus was justified in acting in self-defense against Polyphemus.
