The cyclops with whom Odysseus has a conflict is named Polyphemus. In Homer's "Odyssey," Odysseus and his men become trapped in Polyphemus's cave, and they must devise a clever plan to escape. Odysseus blinds Polyphemus after getting him drunk, and in doing so, he incurs the wrath of Poseidon, Polyphemus's father. This encounter significantly complicates Odysseus's journey home to Ithaca.
