Before Odysseus leaves his ship with his men to explore the island he takes with him some wine and food.
The wine was given to Odysseus by Maron, son of Euanthes and priest of Apollo, after Odysseus protected him and his child.
Odysseus gives this wine to the Cyclops, and after the cyclops has drunk too much Odysseus addresses him and tells him his name is nobody. When the cyclops is sleeping Odysseus takes a sharpened stick and stabs the Cyclops in the eye, when the cyclops cries out in pain and calls for his brothers to help they ask who is hurting him and he says nobody, so his brothers think he is playing a trick on them and dont help.
