saying his name was "no man."
Odysseus
Polyphemus was the son of Poseidon, who hated Odysseus. Polyphemus knew nothing of Odysseus until he found Odysseus and his men in Polyphemus' cave, although he was once told by the sage Telemus that he would be blinded someday by a man named Odysseus.
yes polyphemus was mad odysseus and stabed him with a carving nife :)
Odysseus taunted the blinded Polyphemus in an act of hubris, telling Polyphemus that it was Odysseus who had blinded him.
Odysseus waited for the cyclops Polyphemus inside the cave with some of his crewmen.
Odysseus
He tells him is name is Nohbdy. "Nohbdy, Nohbdy's tricked me, Nohbdy's ruined me!" -Polyphemus or Cyclops
Odysseus tells Polyphemus that his name is "Nobody." When Polyphemus asks for help during an attack, Odysseus and his men blind him using a wooden stake. When Polyphemus calls out for help, he tells the other Cyclopes that "Nobody" is attacking him, so they do not come to his aid.
The other Cyclopes think Polyphemus is saying that "Nobody" has tricked him. This is a clever play on words by Odysseus when he tells Polyphemus his name is "Nobody," so when Polyphemus shouts that "Nobody" has tricked him, the other Cyclopes do not understand that he is actually in trouble.
He tells him is name is Nohbdy. "Nohbdy, Nohbdy's tricked me, Nohbdy's ruined me!" -Polyphemus or Cyclops
I wouldn't call it a battle, per se, but Polyphemus was the Cyclops that imprisoned Odysseus and his men. Odysseus put out his eye and tricked the giant into saying that No Man hurt him when calling for aid.
Polyphemus cries out "Nohbdy, Nohbdy, tricked me, Nohbdy has blinded me!" This is a part of Odysseus' clever plan to escape from the cyclops. Polyphemus' scream leads the other cyclopes to believe that nobody harmed him, allowing Odysseus and his crew to escape unnoticed.
Odysseus demonstrated cunning, resourcefulness, and strategic thinking in his dealings with Polyphemus. He tricked the cyclops by pretending to be Nobody, ultimately outsmarting Polyphemus and escaping from his cave. Odysseus' quick thinking and ability to adapt to unexpected situations were essential in overcoming this formidable foe.
One example is when Odysseus outsmarted Polyphemus by devising a plan to escape from his cave by blinding him and then hiding under the sheep to leave undetected. Another example is when Odysseus tricked Polyphemus by giving him a false name, leading the Cyclops to underestimate him and not see through his deception.

No. Polyphemus and Odysseus become mortal enemies.
Polyphemus hadn't known that it was Odysseus in his house. Odysseus had lied and told Polyphemus (the cyclops) that his name was Nobody. Odysseus and his crew had also blinded Polyphemus.
