Polyphemos is a Cyclops, a one-eyed giant from Greek mythology. The kylix depicting him is in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, which is why it 's referred to as the Boston Polyphemos. The artist is unknown and is referred to as "the painter of the boston Polyphemos. It think it should be Attica, not Attic and it refers to where the kylix was made.
