Odysseus tells the cyclops Polythemus his true name, after blinding Polythemus.
the cyclops was intimidating to odysseus at first. Yet, the cyclops was kind until Odysseus took advantage of him and blinded him....to get to the point.. the cyclops was an idiot and was kind and welcoming to Odysseus who told him his name was nobody so when asked who blinded him, the cyclops replied nobody
Odysseus blind the Cyclops. The way he does this, is that he had seen some large logs burning in the cave. So, Odysseus and his crew had managed to lift up one of the logs and shove the burning end of the log into the eye of the Cyclops, which does NOT kill him, but does blind him.

Odysseus demonstrates cunning and cleverness by lying to the Cyclops about his name. This trait allows him to outwit the Cyclops and successfully escape from captivity.
Odysseus's display of bravery and intelligence can be seen when he devises the plan to defeat the cyclops Polyphemus in Book 9 of the Odyssey. By introducing himself as "Nobody" and then blinding the cyclops before escaping, Odysseus showcases both his cleverness and courage in the face of danger.
Odysseus uses his wiliness, cleverness, forethought, leadership, strength, mechanical aptitude, and improvisational skills to get away from the cyclops Polyphemus.
Odysseus uses his cleverness in the Cyclops episode by introducing himself as "Nobody," so when he blinds the Cyclops, Polyphemus, and asks for help, Polyphemus tells the other Cyclopes that "Nobody" is hurting him. This cunning plan helps Odysseus escape by making the other Cyclopes believe Polyphemus is not in danger.
Wiliness, cleverness, and forethought. And you can't forget common sense!
Odysseus's escape from the Cyclops by using a clever plan to blind him showcases his resourcefulness and guile. By pretending to be "Nobody" when asked his name, he outwits the Cyclops and successfully leads his men to safety. This demonstrates Odysseus's reputation for cunning and strategic thinking.
Odysseus shows his cleverness, cunning, and bright mind when he thinks of a plan for escape but when they are about to leave by ship his anger shines through and he ends up being cursed by Posiden and he almost gets his crew and himself killed.
When he shows hubris when he tells his name to the cyclops.
Odysseus demonstrates his cleverness with language through his use of wit, rhetoric, and manipulation. For instance, he employs disguises and aliases to deceive others. He also employs strategic storytelling to evoke sympathy or gain an advantage in various situations. In addition, Odysseus often speaks in a way that is veiled and indirect, allowing him to remain evasive and elusive when dealing with threats or adversaries.
positive- he shows outstanding wit by escaping the cyclops by blinding it then hiding on the undersides of the sheep negative- he shows stupidity by shouting his name out to the cyclops when he's escaping, this way the cyclops prays to his father, Poseidon, and makes it harder for Odysseus to go home
The cyclops was already named Polyphemus. Odysseus did not name the cyclops.
