As he puts his hand on his lamb Cyclops says, "Would that you, the best of my flock, were endowed with speech, so that you might tell me where Noman, who has blinded me, has hidden himself."
Petting is like when you drag your hand across and patting is when you hit it lightly.

the cyclops was intimidating to odysseus at first. Yet, the cyclops was kind until Odysseus took advantage of him and blinded him....to get to the point.. the cyclops was an idiot and was kind and welcoming to Odysseus who told him his name was nobody so when asked who blinded him, the cyclops replied nobody
he tricks the cyclops into thinking his name is "nobhdy" to escape the island
Odysseus tells the cyclops Polythemus his true name, after blinding Polythemus.
The cyclops was suspicious since the ram was usually the first to leave the cave, but in this case it was the last to leave.
They split the sheep of the cyclops among the men and had a feast, sacrificing the ram to Zeus.
Odysseus and the crew rescue themselves from the cyclops. Odysseus later escapes under Polyphemus' largest ram.
In Homer's "Odyssey," the cyclops Polyphemus loses his sight and his rams after being blinded by Odysseus. Homer does not present a sympathetic view of the cyclops, portraying him as a monster who devours Odysseus' men. Instead, the focus is on Odysseus' cunning and survival tactics in outwitting the cyclops.
well is took many days but he told him that he loved him
Odysseus uses his cleverness in the Cyclops episode by introducing himself as "Nobody," so when he blinds the Cyclops, Polyphemus, and asks for help, Polyphemus tells the other Cyclopes that "Nobody" is hurting him. This cunning plan helps Odysseus escape by making the other Cyclopes believe Polyphemus is not in danger.
