Odysseus cleverly tricks the Cyclops Polyphemus by telling him his name is "Nobody." When he later blinds Polyphemus and the Cyclops calls for help, he tells the other Cyclopes that "Nobody" is attacking him, leading them to believe he is not in danger. This deception allows Odysseus and his men to escape without being pursued, as Polyphemus is unable to accurately convey who is responsible for his injury. The clever play on words showcases Odysseus's cunning and resourcefulness.

yes Answer 2. Polyphemus asked Odysseus about his name, which showed he could talk.
Because the cyclopes' father which was the god of sea would punish him or kill him if he did. So he escaped without killing him to be safe but the Cyclopes prays to his father to kill Odysseus. :)
