He asks him to kill Odysseus before he returns home or if Odysseus is fated to return home, then to ensure that he arrives alone on someone else's ship, having lost all of his crew, and with trouble in his home.

What is the curse of the cyclops in The Odyssey?
The cyclops said that Odysseus will never reach his home land in Ithaca. ======================================================= Odysseus, the greek hero, according to Homer's epic poem, tried to return home with his men, after the fall of Troy. Their journey to Ithaca was full of adventures and lasted for ten years. At one stage they were captured by cyclops, a group of one-eyed, man-eater giants. They escaped by deceiving and blinding one of them, Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon, the sea god. Polyphemus cursed Odysseus and his men by imploring his father that they could never reach their home land, nor see their own home and friends again. But, if they still do, than "...let him come late, in evil plight, with all his comrades dead, in someone else's ship, and find troubles in his household."

What does the Cyclops do that puts Odysseus and his men in danger?
I'd say the obvious thing is that Polyphemus trapped Odysseus and his men in his cave and threatened to eat them. Other than that Odysseus' cleverness protects them fromanything else Polyphemus tries to do. He was rash when he shouted out his real name to the cyclops though as Polyphemus' father is Poseidon and he calls upon him to avenge his blindness.

Is polyphemus in the book homers Iliad?
The cyclops Polyphemus is not, no. But someone else named Polyphemus is. Godlike Polyphemus is mentioned by Nestor in his speech to Agamemnon and Achilles in Book 1 (Line 264). This is possibly the Polyphemus who is an Argonaut. It is probably not the cyclops.

Why did Poseidon speak on Ares' behalf in Book 8 of Odyssey?
Poseidon is the one who's so relentless in his persecution of Odysseus for Odysseus' blinding of Polyphemus _ not that bad an act since Odysseus was acting in self-defense and only wounded Polyphemus. Now Hephaistos has been wronged, but when it's not Poseidon own son's honor (and thus his own honor) in question, he becomes the voice of reason, all for brokering a deal. Ironic. The other noteworthy relationship between Poseidon and Ares that I can think of (especially relevant for an Athenian audience) is that there's a story Ares once killed a son of Poseidon's who had raped/tried to rape an Athenian girl. The gods formed a court and Ares was acquitted of murder at the spot known as Areopagus (where Athens' murder court was established). But surely it's ironic Poseidon stands up for someone known to have killed one of his sons. Hephaistos is an analogue of Odysseus, not to mention Penelope, with his cunning woven contrivance. But rather than killing the 'suitor' who is taking his wife, he's content to humiliate him. That's inevitable because: what else are you going to do with an *immortal* adulterer, kill him? But you could reverse this and see Hephistos here as acting like Poseidon. Poseidon wants to kill Odysseus, but is forbidden to do so by his big brother Zeus, the ultimate arbiter. So instead he makes Odysseus suffer.
