When Odysseus introduces himself to the Cyclops Polyphemus, he initially presents himself as "Nobody," which is a clever tactic to protect his identity. Polyphemus, intrigued but skeptical, responds by expressing disdain for Odysseus's name, stating that he is not afraid of him. However, as the story unfolds, Odysseus's cleverness ultimately leads to Polyphemus's downfall, as the Cyclops is blinded and learns that "Nobody" has outsmarted him. This encounter sets the stage for the ensuing conflict and demonstrates Odysseus's cunning nature.
