What lie did Odysseus tell the cyclopes?
1. When the Cyclops Polyphemus asks Odysseus where his ship is, Odysseus lies and says it was destroyed upon the rocks of the shore. 2. Odysseus told the cyclops that his name was "Nobody". When Odysseus and his men blind the cyclops (neither Odysseus nor the Cyclops dies), he yells to his friends for help. They ask him what is wrong and he answers saying, "Nobody's killing me now by fraud and not by force!" (Fagles' translation 9.455). They respond by saying that it must be the plague killing him and they can't help. They advise him to pray.
What did Odysseus tell Polyphemus that his name was no man how did this help him?
When Odysseus introduced himself as "No Man," he cunningly deceived Polyphemus, the Cyclops. By doing so, Odysseus made it difficult for Polyphemus to identify him later when seeking vengeance. As a result, when Odysseus and his men blinded the Cyclops and escaped, Polyphemus couldn't call out a specific name for help, allowing Odysseus to continue on his journey without immediate retribution.
Why was Odysseus able to stab the cyclops in the eye?
Before Odysseus leaves his ship with his men to explore the island he takes with him some wine and food. The wine was given to Odysseus by Maron, son of Euanthes and priest of Apollo, after Odysseus protected him and his child. Odysseus gives this wine to the Cyclops, and after the cyclops has drunk too much Odysseus addresses him and tells him his name is nobody. When the cyclops is sleeping Odysseus takes a sharpened stick and stabs the Cyclops in the eye, when the cyclops cries out in pain and calls for his brothers to help they ask who is hurting him and he says nobody, so his brothers think he is playing a trick on them and dont help.

Why won't anyone help Polyphemus?
Before Polyphemus (name means many loud shouts) is blinded by Odysseus, he asks him his name as he has a gift for him. Odysseus tells Polyphemus his name is "Nobody." When the other Cyclops ask Polyphemus why he is shouting and ask if he is being attacked, Polyphemus tells them, "Nobody is attacking me," so they all think it is an affliction sent by the Gods and tell him to pray to his father Poseidon for relief.
