In Homer's "Odyssey," Odysseus is insulted by the Cyclops Polyphemus when he asks for his name and Odysseus cleverly responds with the false name "Nobody." When Odysseus and his men blind Polyphemus and he cries out for help, the other Cyclopes assume that "Nobody" is hurting him, leading Polyphemus to feel humiliated and insulted.
Odysseus tells Polyphemus that his name is "Nobody" when asked for his name. This allows Odysseus to trick Polyphemus when he later blinds him and Polyphemus calls for help, claiming that "Nobody" is attacking him.
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 called himself Outis (=Nobody). He did not give Polyphemus a name.
Polyphemus laments, recalling when the seer Telemus told him that he would one day be blinded by Odysseus. The cyclops then calls out to his father Poseidon, and asks him to curse Odysseus. He asks him to kill Odysseus before he returns home or if Odysseus is fated to return home, then to ensure that he arrives alone on someone else's ship, having lost all of his crew, and with trouble in his home.
Before Polyphemus (name means many loud shouts) is blinded by Odysseus, he asks him his name as he has a gift for him. Odysseus tells Polyphemus his name is "Nobody." When the other Cyclops ask Polyphemus why he is shouting and ask if he is being attacked, Polyphemus tells them, "Nobody is attacking me," so they all think it is an affliction sent by the Gods and tell him to pray to his father Poseidon for relief.
His name was Polyphemus .
Odysseus tells Polyphemus that his name is "Nobody." When Polyphemus asks for help during an attack, Odysseus and his men blind him using a wooden stake. When Polyphemus calls out for help, he tells the other Cyclopes that "Nobody" is attacking him, so they do not come to his aid.
The cyclops was already named Polyphemus. Odysseus did not name the cyclops.
Poseidon cursed Odysseus because Odysseus had blinded Poseidon's son, the cyclops Polyphemus. After doing this, Odysseus demonstrated his hubris by taunting Polyphemus and revealing what his actual name is. As a result, Polyphemus prayed to his father, who cursed Odysseus.
