When the cyclops Polyphemus first finds Odysseus and his men he pretends to welcome them. Polyphemus then traps them in his cave and eats two of the men. Odysseus tell Polyphemus that his name is 'Nobody' and he then tricks the giant into drinking wine. Polyphemus drinks until he falls asleep and Odysseus and his men drive a stake through his eye. They then strap themselves to the bottom of livestock to escape the cave.
