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.
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.
yes polyphemus was mad odysseus and stabed him with a carving nife :)
Odysseus and his men wait in the cyclops cave, as Odysseus is curious as to who the cyclops is. As Polyphemus brings in his sheep, he spots the men in the cave.
When Polyphemus first spies Odysseus and his men in the cave, he starts a conversation with them, asking who they are, what they are doing there, and where they have come from.

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 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.

Odysseus had to defeat the Polyphemus.
Odysseus did not kill the cyclops Polyphemus.
By hiding under the cyclop's sheep. On the underside of Polyphemus' sheep. When Polyphemus let his sheep out into the pasture, Odysseus and the remaining crew rode out with the sheep. Odysseus gives Polyphemus a false name and then Odysseus and the men find a large olive stump and sharpen it into a massive spear. They then hide it and then Odysseus and the men feed Polyphemus wine until he is drunk and then they Odysseus and the men spear Polyphemus' eye, blinding him and then Odysseus and the men hide underneath the sheep, with Odysseus hiding beneath the largest ram.
Polyphemus finds Odysseus' men tasty.
