He had to persuade them to leave away. (He named himself "NOBODY" and thrust a stick into the fire and then to the giant's eye. When the others asked him whats wrong, he told that NOBODY carried out it. This caused the others to leave in disgust.)
Odysseus blind the Cyclops. The way he does this, is that he had seen some large logs burning in the cave. So, Odysseus and his crew had managed to lift up one of the logs and shove the burning end of the log into the eye of the Cyclops, which does NOT kill him, but does blind him.
Odysseus tells the cyclops Polythemus his true name, after blinding Polythemus.
the cyclops was intimidating to odysseus at first. Yet, the cyclops was kind until Odysseus took advantage of him and blinded him....to get to the point.. the cyclops was an idiot and was kind and welcoming to Odysseus who told him his name was nobody so when asked who blinded him, the cyclops replied nobody
At first the Cyclops, Polyphemus, believes that the person who blinded him is named "Nobody" because that is what Odysseus told him. Once Odysseus is on a boat fleeing the island he yells back and tells Polyphemus that it was he who blinded him. Angered and shocked once more, Polyphemus tries to hit them with a giant rock but misses and calls for help from his father, Poseidon, making Odysseus a sworn enemy to him.

Telemus, son of Eurymus, foretold to Polyphemus that Odysseus would one day blind him.
They poke him in his only eye and blind him.
Odysseus blinds the cyclopes by putting a giant stick in his one eye.
Blinding the cyclops instead of killing it allows Odysseus and his men to escape undetected, as they can only be released from the cave by the cyclops. If they had killed the cyclops, they would have been trapped in the cave with no way out. Blinding the cyclops is a strategic move to ensure their own safety and freedom.
They all run to their ship and sail away. Odysseus can't help mocking the now blind Cyclops and they get a few boulders thrown at them for his pride.
In The Cyclops, when he and his men are trapped in Polyphemus's cave, Odysseus stabs him in the eye to blind him. Once he is blinded he ties his men and himself to the Cyclops animals and when the Cyclops lets the animals outside they escape.
Odysseus blinds the cyclops rather than kills him because he needs the cyclops to move the stone slab blocking the doorway, because it is too heavy to move himself.
Blinding the Cyclops instead of killing him was a strategic move by Odysseus to escape the cave, as he needed the Cyclops to move the boulder blocking the entrance. Killing the Cyclops would have left them trapped inside the cave. Additionally, blinding the Cyclops allowed Odysseus to exact revenge for his men without facing immediate retaliation.
No, they had one eye. Odysseus and his men ran a pole into the only eye of Polyphemus, so he went blind.
Odysseus plans to blind the cyclops Polyphemus by sharpening a large stake and then use it to incapacitate him. He tells the cyclops his name is "Nobody" so that when Polyphemus screams for help, the other Cyclopes will believe that "Nobody" is hurting him. This clever plan allows Odysseus and his men to escape the cave.
