When he shows hubris when he tells his name to the cyclops.
When Odysseus shouted back at the cyclops as he and his men were escaping, he revealed his real name, which goes against his cunning nature of using aliases. This decision ultimately led to Poseidon's anger towards him, causing further obstacles in his journey back home.
When he makes a plan to get all of the men out under the sheep.
Odysseus shows his bravery by leading his men into battle against formidable foes like the Cyclops and the suitors in his palace. His intelligence is demonstrated through his cleverness and strategic thinking, such as when he devises the plan to escape from the Lotus-eaters or outwit the Sirens.
Odysseus's display of bravery and intelligence can be seen when he devises the plan to defeat the cyclops Polyphemus in Book 9 of the Odyssey. By introducing himself as "Nobody" and then blinding the cyclops before escaping, Odysseus showcases both his cleverness and courage in the face of danger.
positive- he shows outstanding wit by escaping the cyclops by blinding it then hiding on the undersides of the sheep negative- he shows stupidity by shouting his name out to the cyclops when he's escaping, this way the cyclops prays to his father, Poseidon, and makes it harder for Odysseus to go home
When he yelled back at the cyclops from his ship. This had a ripple affect, and created consequences for Odysseus, like loosing all of his men thanks to Tele.
