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 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.
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.
Polyphemus grabs two men, one man in each hand, and smashes their heads against the ground. He does this 3 times, killing 6 of Odysseus' best men.
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.

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.
No he does not kill the cyclops (Polyphemus) he merely blinds him in his only eye
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.
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.
Odysseus did not kill Polyphemus outright, because then he and his men would be trapped in the cave, blocked by the large boulder at the entrance of the cave.
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.
