Odysseus meets the Cyclops, Polyphemus, before he lands on the island of Phaeacia. This encounter occurs in Book 9 of Homer's "Odyssey," where Odysseus and his men find themselves trapped in the Cyclops' cave. They escape after blinding Polyphemus, which leads to further adventures before they eventually reach Phaeacia in later books. The timeline of events in the narrative clearly places the Cyclops encounter prior to their arrival on Phaeacia.
