1. When the Cyclops Polyphemus asks Odysseus where his ship is, Odysseus lies and says it was destroyed upon the rocks of the shore.
2. Odysseus told the cyclops that his name was "Nobody". When Odysseus and his men blind the cyclops (neither Odysseus nor the Cyclops dies), he yells to his friends for help. They ask him what is wrong and he answers saying, "Nobody's killing me now by fraud and not by force!" (Fagles' translation 9.455). They respond by saying that it must be the plague killing him and they can't help. They advise him to pray.
He told the cyclopes that his name was "Noman".
When Hermes arrived on Cyclopes Odysseus was crying of homesickness.
To trick the cyclopes into telling the others that "nobody" has tricked him.
Because the cyclopes' father which was the god of sea would punish him or kill him if he did. So he escaped without killing him to be safe but the Cyclopes prays to his father to kill Odysseus. :)

The Odysseus feelings about the Cyclopes is unbearable. The Odysseus is very graceful to the Cyclopes but he just doesn't understand.
