What was Odysseus trying to do in The Odyssey?

In Homer's Odyssey, Odysseus is trying to get home to Ithaca after the 10 year Trojan war.He has one hell of a journey back home. It takes him another 10 years!It's not just bad weather that delays him and his men on their ship; there are monsters, witches, battles, etc...And the Odyssey is all about how Odysseus manages to get away from these dangerous situations.Oh, and while he's doing all this, the God Poseidon is trying to get him killed.Poor guy.Isn't it fantastic that one of the first ever books written is an adventure book?


What two tricks does Odyddeus play on the Cyclops?

Its Odysseus, not Odyddeus. One of them is where he hides himself, (or clokes himself with a magical item. One of the two...). And then he called him a name. The Cyclops, Polymyth, was angry, and asked, "who's there"? Odysseus said, "Nobody". Polymyth, being a cyclops, wasn't, the sharpest tool in the shed, and he thought "Nobody" was Odysseus's name. He threw boulders at the spot where he thought he heard it. That gave time for Odyseus to escape... Sorry, but I'm not sure what the second one was.
