Odysseus tells Polyphemus that his misfortune is a punishment from the gods for being a bad host, and not treating travelers properly. Odysseus says that he is Odysseus, not "Nobody" and he has successfully tricked and blinded Polyphemus (the cyclops).
Polyphemus shouts out to his father Poseidon to punish Odysseus. Thus Odysseus' long journey.
What else can I help you with?
Why does Odysseus care that Polyphemus knows who outwitted him?
Odysseus is embittered that Polyphemus has killed several of his men and wishes to taunt the cyclops. It is a matter of pride, and makes him feel like he has power over the cyclops and the situation, after being deprived of both earlier.

What do you think of Odysseus's decision to taunt the Cyclops from his ship?
I thought this was a stupid decision. Odysseus knew what the cyclops could do to him. He also knew that he had really ticked off the cyclops. By taunting him from his ship, he just made him more upset and almost killed his crew, as well as himself. Also by doing this, he got himself cursed by Posiden. I hope this helped!
