Odysseus tells Polyphemus that his name is "Nobody." When Polyphemus asks for help during an attack, Odysseus and his men blind him using a wooden stake. When Polyphemus calls out for help, he tells the other Cyclopes that "Nobody" is attacking him, so they do not come to his aid.
What foolish thing does Odysseus say to the Cyclops that demonstrates excessive pride?
Initially, Odysseus is cunning in being able to trick the Cyclops into believing his name was "Nobody" because the Cyclops would then be prevented from calling for help continually saying "Nobody is here!"
