Odysseus used the alias, "nobody" with Polyphemos. Odysseus disguised as a beggar with the suitors. Hope this helped :)
Eurycleia recognizes Odysseus purely by his scar.Eumaeus and Philoetius recognize Odysseus by his scar after Odysseus reveals who he is. Laertes, Odysseus' father, also recognizes Odysseus by his scar after Odysseus reveals his identity.

One of Odysseus's epithets is "wily"
Oh honey, Odysseus is described as "resourceful," "cunning," "patient," "brave," and "wise" in part 1 of the Odyssey. But let's be real, the man is basically a walking thesaurus of positive traits. It's like the ancient Greeks couldn't get enough of him.

Some epithets in The Odyssey include "wily Odysseus," "rosy-fingered Dawn," "wine-dark sea," and "grey-eyed Athena." These descriptive phrases are used repeatedly throughout the epic poem to characterize different characters or aspects of the world.
Some examples of epithets for girls are: "bright-eyed beauty," "golden-haired maiden," "rose-petal princess," and "silver-tongued songstress."

Yes, epithets are used in Dante's Inferno. An epithet is a descriptive term or phrase used to characterize a person or thing, and Dante uses them throughout his epic poem to help create vivid imagery and convey deeper meanings. For example, he often refers to the souls he encounters in Hell with epithets that highlight their sins or virtues, adding layers of complexity to his narrative. These epithets serve to enhance the reader's understanding of the characters and themes in the poem.
No, puns are a form of humor or sarcasm using word play; epithets are descriptive terms for someone or something, or an insult. An epithet can take the form of a pun if it's worded as such.
