When the cyclops asked Odysseus for his name what name did he give him?

How do Odysseus and his men hurt the Cyclops?

Why did Odysseus hurt the Cyclops?
Polyphemus, the cyclops, had trapped Odysseus and his men in his cave, and was going to eat them. He had already killed and consumed four of Odysseus' men when Odysseus managed to get him drunk and put out his eye with a hot pointed stick.
Why is it a mistake that Odysseus tells the cyclops his real name?
Odysseus' pride would not allow him to keep his real identity a secret from the Cyclops. However the Cyclops is the son of Poseidon who hates Odysseus as it is. By telling the Cyclops his real name, Odysseus ultimately reveals himself to Poseidon. The Cyclops tells Poseidon who hurt him and Poseidon plagues the rest of Odysseus' journey. Had his pride not gotten in the way, Odysseus would have been home years before.
How do Odysseus and his crew escape from the Cyclops?
Odysseus blinds the cyclops with a sharpened spear. They escape by attaching themselves to the bottom of the sheep. The cyclops is feeling the ground but does not hurt the sheep because he loves them. So when the Cyclops feels the tops of the sheep, he lets them go, letting Odysseus and his men go in the process.
Why does Odysseus decide not to stab the cyclops with his sword?
Odysseus refrains from stabbing the cyclops with his sword because he realizes that by blinding the cyclops instead, he ensures his escape since the monster is the only one who can move the boulder blocking the cave's entrance. Blinding the cyclops allows Odysseus and his men to hide under the sheep and trick the cyclops when he checks for intruders.
What is Odysseus's biggest mistake with the cyclops?
he cursed Polyphemus and told him his name; therefore letting Polyphemus (the cyclops) tell his dad, Poseidon, who hurt him.
What was Odysseus' plan to beat the cyclops?
When the Cyclops asked his name, he said he was called "Nobody." Then he waited for it to get drunk and fall asleep, whereupon he stabbed its eye out. Then he and his men tied themselves to the undersides of sheep, so that when the cyclops let the sheep out of its cave, feeling for the humans, all it felt was the back of the sheep. When it had realised that Odysseus was gone, it screamed blue murder, and the other cyclops came to its aid, saying "who has hurt you so badly?" And the Cyclops relied, "Nobody has hurt me!"
What does polyphemus say to his fellow cyclops?
Polyphemus says to his fellow Cyclops that he has been blinded by "Nobody" when he is attacked by Odysseus in Homer's "The Odyssey." He then calls for help from the other Cyclops, but when they hear him say that "Nobody" has hurt him, they assume he is fine and do not come to his aid.
What adventures does Odysseus show intelligence?
When odysseus gives the cyclops wine to get him drunk and then tells him his name is nobody. Then odysseus stabs him in the eye and when Odysseus calls out to his brothers he says : " Help me help me Nobody has hurt me, Nobody has tricked me". His brothers think that nobody really is hurting him.
