In Homer's "Odyssey," specifically in the episode involving the Cyclops Polyphemus, Odysseus does not lose any men directly to the Cyclops during their encounter. Instead, he cleverly devises a plan to escape from Polyphemus after blinding him. However, later in the story, Polyphemus calls upon his father Poseidon to avenge him, which leads to further hardships for Odysseus and his crew, resulting in losses later on, but not specifically in the encounter with the Cyclops.
