How did Odysseus and his men escape the cyclops Polyphemus' cave?
By hiding under Polyphemus' sheep.On the underside of Polyphemus' sheep. When Polyphemus let his sheep out into the pasture, Odysseus and the remaining crew rode out with the sheep.The fuller answer is much more complicated, and all of the following contribute to the men's escape.Odysseus gives Polyphemus a false name.Odysseus and the men find a large olive stump and sharpen it into a massive spear. They then hide it.Odysseus and the men feed Polyphemus wine until he is drunk.Odysseus and the men spear Polyphemus' eye, blinding him.Odysseus and the men hide underneath the sheep, with Odysseus hiding beneath the largest ram.Finally, Odysseus sails away with his men, away from the island.After Polyphemos eats a few of Odysseus' men for a meal, Odysseus goes up to Polyphemos and offers him wine to drink. Polyphemos is pleased with the wine and asks Odysseus what his name is, (this is because Polyphemos says that he will eat Odysseus last). Odysseus introduces himself as "Noh Body". The cyclops has too much to drink and when he is drunk, he falls asleep. At this point, Odysseus takes the sharpened green olive pole that he and his men prepared earlier, and heats it up in a fire. Then, Odysseus and his men stab the spear into the Polyphemos, blinding him. When the Cyclops calls for help, his brothers yell back and ask him who is hurting him. Polyphemus replies "noh body." This causes the other Cyclops' to think that he is joking around and so they leave. Cyclops removes the boulder from the door so he can catch anyone trying to escape. To get past Polyphemus, Odysseus tied the male sheep into groups of 3. They then wait until dawn. At dawn, Odysseus had each of his men to be underneath a middle sheep in a group of 3. Odysseus hides under the largest ram. When the Cyclops touches around to find the men, the only thing he feels are sheep and so he does not become suspicious.Polyphemus was blinded by Odysseus and he and his men escaped by hiding beneath the sheep as the cyclops took them out of the cave to feed .
What are Odysseus' weaknesses?
Odysseus' greatest weakness is his pride. Although pride can be a good thing, he is claimed to possess too much of it. This is shown in an act of hubris in book nine of the Odyssey, when Odysseus taunts the Cyclops Polyphemus after blinding him, which leads Odysseus to be cursed by Poseidon.Odysseus curiousity could also be considered a weakness. On the island of the Cyclopes, Odysseus fell into temptation to stay in the Cyclopes's cave to see what the Cyclopes looked like (Polyphemus). This left 6 of his men dead.Odysseus was self-serving even to the extent of betraying his friends. When he visited the underworld the ghost of Ajax the greater refused to speak with him, still offended at their contention over the Armour of Achilles. The Greeks respected his cleverness but the Romans thought him too sly. Dante condemned him and Diomed to the 10th level of hell.His pride. He had to go back and boast to the Cyclops which brought danger to him and his men. Odysseus had a weakness for women. He enjys women. Odysseus' men had to remind him of home when he was with Circe' he also stayed with Calypso for seven years.

Odysseus tells the Cyclops his name is "Nobody."

Odysseus' pride in outsmarting the Cyclops causes him to reveal his true name, which ultimately leads to further danger for him and his men.

What does the Cyclops do that puts Odysseus and his men in danger?
I'd say the obvious thing is that Polyphemus trapped Odysseus and his men in his cave and threatened to eat them. Other than that Odysseus' cleverness protects them fromanything else Polyphemus tries to do. He was rash when he shouted out his real name to the cyclops though as Polyphemus' father is Poseidon and he calls upon him to avenge his blindness.
