Odysseus and 6 of his 12 men escape from the cyclops Polyphemus' cave.
The Cyclops had no kids. The men escaped by holding to the undersides of the cyclops sheep. Their hands could not hold any of the cheeses while they were escaping.
Odysseus escaped the Cyclops by offering him wine to drink. The Cyclops got drunk and passed out and Odysseus and his men then fled.
Odysseus escaped from the Cyclops Polyphemus by cleverly devising a plan. He introduced himself as "Nobody," which confused the Cyclops when he was blinded by Odysseus and called for help, stating that "Nobody" was hurting him. After blinding Polyphemus with a sharpened stake, Odysseus and his men escaped by clinging to the undersides of the Cyclops's sheep as they left the cave to graze. This cunning strategy allowed them to evade capture and sail away safely.
6 of the original 12 crewmen were still alive when Odysseus escaped the Cyclops. They rejoined the remainder of the crew on their ship, and later the remaining men on the other 11 ships.
In the end, after Odysseus and his men escape, the cyclops eats nobody since they have all escaped.
Odysseus and his men blinded Polyphemus, but did not kill him. Odysseus and his men got Polyphemus (the cyclops) drunk on wine and while he was asleep they blinded him by poking him in the eye with a stick and then escaped by holding on underneath the sheep when he let them out of the cave to graze.
