Odysseus did not tell the cyclops his name cyclops promised him a gift

Odysseus stabbed the cyclops in the eye. but before that he befriended the Cyclops and when he asked Odysseus his name ha said "NOBDY". When Odysseus stabbed the cyclops in the eye the cyclops move the boulder and said to the other Cyclops's " Help help NOBDY stabbed me in the eye."
The cyclops was already named Polyphemus. Odysseus did not name the cyclops.
Odysseus responded that his name was Noman. Later when Odysseus was escaping, the hurt cyclops told his friends that Noman was responsible and the other cyclops acknowledged that since no man had hurt him, it must have been done by the gods and they could do nothing to help him.
the cyclops was intimidating to odysseus at first. Yet, the cyclops was kind until Odysseus took advantage of him and blinded him....to get to the point.. the cyclops was an idiot and was kind and welcoming to Odysseus who told him his name was nobody so when asked who blinded him, the cyclops replied nobody
This was due to Odysseus being very clever. When the Cyclops asked Odysseus what his name was - he stated that his name sounded like "nobody" so when the Cyclops' brothers asked him who blinded him he replied: "Nobody blinded me."
I believe Odysseus provided a false name to the Cyclops. 'Nobody'
Polyphemus is the name of the giant cyclops that Odysseus and his men encounter.
In the "Odyssey", Odysseus blinded the Cyclops Polyphemus with a red hot log.The cyclops that was blinded by Odysseus is Polyphemos.
he gave him wind so the cyclops was drunk he said his name was nobody so when they attacked the cyclops and the other cyclpopes heard him scream, they asked who was attacking him and the cyclops said "nobody"
The cyclops that Odysseus encountered was Polyphemus; in Greek Mythology there were many cyclops.
Odysseus told the giant cyclops Polyphemus that his name was "Nobody." This clever ruse allowed Odysseus to outsmart Polyphemus later when he blinded him; when the other cyclopes came to investigate Polyphemus's cries for help, he could only say that "Nobody" was hurting him, leading them to leave him alone.
