metis, when in the cyclops cave, he said that his name was no-one (me tis in greek) later, when he blinded the cyclops, the cyclops cried out to his neighbours "no-one is hurting me", so they ignored him. metis is the greek word for cunning and foresight :)
Odysseus uses a sharpened wooden stake to wound the Cyclops Polyphemus. After getting the Cyclops drunk on wine, he and his men drive the stake into Polyphemus's single eye, blinding him. This clever tactic allows them to escape from the cave, as the blinded Cyclops can no longer see them.
"Cyclops, you ask me for my famous name. I will tell you then, but you must give me a guests gift as you have promised. Nobody is my name. My father and mother call me Nobody, as do all the others who are my companions." IX 364-369
When the other cyclopses came to see why he was yelling he told them that NOBODY was hurting him, meaning the person he thought to be called Nobody but the other cyclopses thought he meant it in the sense we use it as nobody meaning no-one.
Hint: Odysseys claims responsibility, but he does not use his name. Who does he claim poked the cyclops's eye?Answer:He called himself Nobody, and the Cyclops was made a fool of.
Odysseus uses his wiliness, cleverness, forethought, leadership, strength, mechanical aptitude, and improvisational skills to get away from the cyclops Polyphemus.
Odysseus uses his cunning and intelligence to come up with a plan to blind the cyclops and trick him into letting him and his men escape. This resourcefulness allows Odysseus to outsmart the cyclops and successfully navigate through a dangerous situation.
He calls himself "Nobody" or "No-Man". He also gets the Cyclops drunk and pretends to be "Nobody" instead of himself. Polyphemus (cyclops) gets drunk and asks Odysseus his name. He replied with "Nobody." As the cyclops falls down and collapses, Odysseus and his mean put red hot staff into his eye. When the cyclops screams and awakens, people around him ask him what's wrong. Cyclops replied with, "Nobody's killing me!."
Odysseus is curious as to the type of person the cyclops is, so he decides to wait with his men inside the cave. He also would like gifts from the cyclops as per the custom of giving gifts to visitors at that time.
Odysseus rode underneath a ram, out of Polyphemus' cave.
It enables Odysseus and his men to escape the Cyclops's cave and it confuses the other Cyclopses so they don't come to the aid of their friend.
pitiless
He can't kill the cyclops because only Polyphemus can move the rock to open the cave. So Odysseus decides to get him drunk then blind the cyclops. Odysseus then wraps himself under the sheep so he can reach outside without alerting the cyclops.
Odysseus uses his wiliness, cleverness, forethought, leadership, strength, mechanical aptitude, and improvisational skills to get away from the cyclops Polyphemus.
Odysseus used a flaming stake to poke out the cyclops Polyphemus' eye in Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey."
Odysseus tricks the Cyclops into getting drunk on wine. Once the cyclops is asleep, Odysseus has his men sharpen the end of a log, and then ram it into the cyclops's eye. Once blinded, he and his men tie themselves to the bellies of the cyclops's sheep, which then carry them out of the cave and to freedom.
