The main seer in the Odyssey is Tyresias of Thebes. Odysseus is told that if he wants to get home safely and throw off the curse that he's under, he needs to go see Tyresias. The only problem is that Tyresias is dead. Undeterred, Odysseus travels to the underworld, using instructions and magic from the witch Circe, interrogates Tyresias, and finds out how to throw off the curse and get home. There is a second, more minor, seer in the Odyssey as well. His name is Theoclymenus, and he shows up near the end, just before Odysseus gets home to Ithaca. He looks around Odysseus's castle and predicts that the hundred or so suitors who are hanging around there are all about to die. Unsurprisingly, they don't believe him, and he clears out.
There is no curse for that.

The irony in Polyphemus's curse on Odysseus is that he unknowingly calls on Poseidon to exact revenge on himself. Polyphemus is unaware that Odysseus is disguised as "Nobody" when Odysseus blinds him, leading Polyphemus to ask Poseidon to punish "Nobody." This irony contributes to the cunning and cleverness of Odysseus in escaping the Cyclops.
Because odyssey means a long trip or journey
An odyssey is like a perilous adventure. In the book "The Odyssey," Odysseus goes on an everlasting journey that involves courage, strength, and smarts. It is called "The Odyssey" because it describes his odyssey. An Odyssey could also be a mini-van made by Honda.
