Odysseus uses the name "Nohbody" as a clever tactic to outsmart the Cyclops Polyphemus. When Odysseus blinds Polyphemus and the Cyclops calls for help, he tells the other Cyclopes that "Nohbody" is attacking him. This allows Odysseus to escape without revealing his true identity, ensuring that he can avoid further retaliation from Polyphemus or other Cyclopes. The name also emphasizes Odysseus's cunning nature and strategic thinking in dire situations.
