Odysseus tells Polyphemus that his name is "Nobody" when asked for his name. This allows Odysseus to trick Polyphemus when he later blinds him and Polyphemus calls for help, claiming that "Nobody" is attacking him.
Polyphemus responds to Odysseus with anger and violence after Odysseus blinds him. He curses Odysseus and his men, calling for vengeance from his father Poseidon. Polyphemus then blocks the exit of the cave, trapping Odysseus and his crew inside.
Odysseus blinded Polyphemus as a strategic move to escape from the cyclops' cave. By blinding him, Odysseus made it easier to outsmart Polyphemus and his fellow cyclopes, enabling his crew to escape.
Yes, there is a conflict between Polyphemus, the Cyclops, and Odysseus in Homer's "The Odyssey." Polyphemus traps Odysseus and his men in his cave and begins to eat them one by one. Odysseus blinds Polyphemus, which angers the Cyclops and leads to further conflict between them.
Polyphemus hates nobody more than he hates Odysseus. Odysseus blinded Polyphemus, so the Cyclops holds a deep grudge against him.
No, it is not wise for Odysseus to taunt Polyphemus because it puts him and his crew at risk of retaliation and harm. Polyphemus is a powerful and vengeful creature, and taunting him only escalates the danger they face.
Odysseus claimed that he and his men had been shipwrecked. He said this to hide the location of his ship from Polyphemus.

In hopes of Polyphemus' pity. He hoped that if Polyphemus thought his ship was crashed, Polyphemus would offer trade or something of that sort

He got over confident, and wanted Polyphemus to spread the word on who defeated him, so other creatures would fear him. He did not think, however, that Polyphemus would instead tell his father (Poseidon) to get revenge on Odysseus.
Polyphemus was the son of Poseidon, who hated Odysseus.
No. Polyphemus and Odysseus become mortal enemies.
Polyphemus hadn't known that it was Odysseus in his house. Odysseus had lied and told Polyphemus (the cyclops) that his name was Nobody. Odysseus and his crew had also blinded Polyphemus.
Polyphemus was the son of Poseidon, who hated Odysseus. Polyphemus knew nothing of Odysseus until he found Odysseus and his men in Polyphemus' cave, although he was once told by the sage Telemus that he would be blinded someday by a man named Odysseus.
yes polyphemus was mad odysseus and stabed him with a carving nife :)
he cursed Polyphemus and told him his name; therefore letting Polyphemus (the cyclops) tell his dad, Poseidon, who hurt him.
When the cyclops Polyphemus first finds Odysseus and his men he pretends to welcome them. Polyphemus then traps them in his cave and eats two of the men. Odysseus tell Polyphemus that his name is 'Nobody' and he then tricks the giant into drinking wine. Polyphemus drinks until he falls asleep and Odysseus and his men drive a stake through his eye. They then strap themselves to the bottom of livestock to escape the cave.
