Odysseus and his men blinded Polyphemus, but did not kill him. Odysseus and his men got Polyphemus (the cyclops) drunk on wine and while he was asleep they blinded him by poking him in the eye with a stick and then escaped by holding on underneath the sheep when he let them out of the cave to graze.
yes polyphemus was mad odysseus and stabed him with a carving nife :)
The Greek myths have no chronology. Odysseus did not kill the cyclops Polyphemus.
Odysseus did not kill the cyclops. Polyphemus, Poseidon's one eyed son, was blinded by Odysseus and his men in "The Odyssey" by Homer, Part 1.
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.

Odysseus gets Polyphemus to fall asleep by giving him wine that causes him to become drunk. Odysseus then takes advantage of this opportunity to blind Polyphemus while he is sleeping.
Odysseus doesn't kill Polyphemus immediately because he needs him to move the giant's boulder from the entrance of his cave. Additionally, Odysseus hopes to escape being eaten by the cyclops and believes he has a better chance of surviving if he outwits Polyphemus rather than confronting him directly.

Odysseus decides not to kill Polyphemus immediately because he knows that only Polyphemus can remove the boulder blocking the cave's entrance, needed for their escape. If he killed Polyphemus while he was asleep, they would be trapped inside the cave. Odysseus chooses to bide his time and come up with a plan to outsmart Polyphemus instead.

No he does not kill the cyclops (Polyphemus) he merely blinds him in his only eye
After Polyphemus ate two more of Odysseus' men, Odysseus offered him wine which causes intoxication. The cyclops fell asleep and that gave Odysseus the chance to make his escape. He took a spear-head and heated it into the fire and then rammed it into his eye causing major pain. And blindness so that Polyphemus could not see where Odysseus had gone.
Polyphemus was blinded by Odysseus and his men during their escape from the cyclops' cave. They heated a wooden stake and drove it into Polyphemus' single eye while he was asleep, blinding him and allowing the group to escape.
