Odysseus cuts a 6 foot pole off a giant green olive club, tells his men to sharpen it, and then afterwards hides it in the cave. When the cyclops returns home, Odysseus then proceeds to get the cyclops Polyphemus drunk. Polyphemus does so, and falls asleep.
Odysseus and his men thrust the pole into the fire to heat it. When it is just about to ignite, they grab the pole and thrust it, flaming, into the cyclops Polyphemus' eye, turning it like a screw.
Odysseus angers Polyphemus himself by blinding him. Polyphemos angrily tries to catch Odysseus, but fails.
Polyphemus calls to his father Poseidon to avenge him; Poseidon is greatly angered by Polyphemus' blinding, and hampers Odysseus on his journey home.
A sword he put in a fire
Answer 2: There were some very large logs burning in the cave. Odysseus and his men managed to lift one and rammed the burning end into the eye of Polyphemus, while turning it like a screw, so that it drilled further into Polyphemus' eye.
Odysseus blinds Polyphemus by getting him drunk on wine and then piercing his single eye with a sharpened wooden stake. This act allows Odysseus and his men to escape the cyclops' cave.
Odysseus blinded Cyclops Polyphemus by getting him drunk on strong wine then driving a wooden stake into his eye.
He gets him drunk, and while he is sleeping, he and his men stab him in the eye with a giant spear.
Polyphemus (Greek: Πολύφημος Polyphēmos)
oddyseus stabbed him
correct
odysseus
Telemus, son of Eurymus, foretold to Polyphemus that Odysseus would one day blind him.
Odysseus waited for the cyclops Polyphemus inside the cave with some of his crewmen.
No, they had one eye. Odysseus and his men ran a pole into the only eye of Polyphemus, so he went blind.
Polyphemus hadn't known that it was Odysseus in his house. Odysseus had lied and told Polyphemus (the cyclops) that his name was Nobody. Odysseus and his crew had also blinded Polyphemus.
Odysseus did not kill the cyclops Polyphemus.
The tree that Odysseus used to blind Polyphemus was significant because it was vital in helping Odysseus and his men avoid being eaten by the Cyclops. By using the sharpened tree trunk as a weapon, Odysseus was able to blind Polyphemus and escape his cave. This event also demonstrated Odysseus' resourcefulness and cunning in the face of danger.
The cyclops that Odysseus encountered was Polyphemus; in Greek Mythology there were many cyclops.
The cyclops was already named Polyphemus. Odysseus did not name the cyclops.
The cyclops learns through a seer that he will be blinded by Odysseus. Later on, after Polyphemus is blinded, Odysseus yells his name to Polyphemus while bragging about blinding the cyclops.
Blinding the cyclops instead of killing it allows Odysseus and his men to escape undetected, as they can only be released from the cave by the cyclops. If they had killed the cyclops, they would have been trapped in the cave with no way out. Blinding the cyclops is a strategic move to ensure their own safety and freedom.
A cyclops that is the son of Poseidon. He curses Odysseus.
Odysseus was curious about the type of men the Cyclops were.
