What did Odysseus to the giant cyclops?
He didn't give him anything- in ancient Greek mythology, he captured Odysseus and his crew after their ship is wrecked in a storm and washed up on the island where he lived. The Cyclops is cannibalistic in his habits and kills and devours more than one of Odysseus's men, but he also has a treasured flock of sheep that he jealously guards. Odysseus tricks the Cyclops into getting drunk to the point of passing out from intoxication- when he is unconscious, Odysseus blinds the Cyclops's single eye with a red-hot iron, then kill his herd of sheep and clads himself and his crew in their fleeces. Upon awakening and finding himself blind, the Cyclops flies into a fury and seeks to find and kill Odysseus, but because he can no longer see, he has to go by touch, and cannot tell the fleece-clad Odyssesus and his crew, from his own flock of sheep, enabling them to sneak out quietly and escape when the Cyclops gets confused.
