What does Odysseus call the cyclops?
He thought it was a waist of time and that it was stupid,
Why does odysseys reveal his name to cyclopse?
To trick the Cyclops. Odysseus tells Polyphemus (cyclops) that his name is "no body", so when he stabbed cyclops in his eye, he would yell "no body is hurting me! No body stabbed me!"
What is the cyclops curse on Odysseus?
After Polyphemos (the cyclops) is blinded, the cyclops yell out to his father (Posiedon) and asks him to kill Odysseus and his crew. And if its not the gods will to kill him, then make his journey long and drawn out for a long time, and make it painful and bad too. He did that to get revenge. You should read the book.... or an abridged version anyways.
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 .
Why does polyphemus yell for the other cyclops to come help him?
He was screaming so the other Cyclopes would come over and help him. Instead they yelled back and asked him who was hurting him. Polyphemus says noman was hurting him, (Noman was the name Odysseus gave him). The other Cyclopes thought Polyphemus meant no one was hurting him, so they left. Odyssey book 9

What is a brief summary of The Odyssey?
The Odyssey started after Troy fell and Odysseus was cursed by the gods that he would find it hard to reach his home Ithaca. Poseidon was most angered by Odysseus' arrogance that the victory over Troy was due to him. The god made it impossible for Odysseus and his men to sail through the seas and they encountered various monsters (Cyclops, Scylla, Charybdis) and temptresses (Circe, Calypso) who were all bent on killing him and his men and or delaying him. After years of suffering Athena and the gods finally relented and allowed him to finally return home. Upon reaching Ithaca he learned that his wife Penelope was being woed by a number of randy suitors who laid waste to his palace. He and his son Telemachus devised a plan to overcome the suitors by making a contest on whomever could string the arrow inside 12 rings.
