Polyphemus was surprised in "The Odyssey" because he did not expect Odysseus and his men to invade his cave and outsmart him. When Odysseus introduced himself as "Nobody," the Cyclops was caught off guard by the cleverness of his opponent. Additionally, he was unprepared for the cunning plan that led to his blinding, as he had never encountered such resourcefulness from humans before. This surprise ultimately contributed to his downfall and Odysseus's escape.
It was Polyphemus.
