for me it is not fair, because Odysseus and he's comrades are just protecting there self from Polyphemus the cyclops who is the son of Poseidon. And Odysseus didn't need any help from God because he can handle on the situation and he's smart after all.

What test did Penelope set for he beggar to prove he was Odysseus?

Rather than directly testing Odysseus and questioning him, Penelope asks her maid Eurycleia to move the great bed that Odysseus himself made with his own hands. This is a clever way of testing Odysseus because the bed was made in a way that would be near impossible to move and Odysseus finds Penelopes words 'a knife in [his] heart' The bed was made by using the trunk of an olive tree as the first bedpost, the tree was still rooted to the ground so Odysseus claims that even a man in his prime wouldn't be able to move the bed. Odysseus and Penelope are the only people to know how the bed was created so Odysseus has just give proof that he truly is who he says he is.


Is Polyphemus a villain do Odysseus' actions toward him seem justified?

Polyphemos is not a villan to him, but once he started eating Odysseus' men, he became a villan. Not so much a villan, but more of an enemy. His actions are not justified because Odysseus did not have a tender heart to forgive him or even strike a deal about eating his men. He just blinded/totured him which was wrong.
