Odysseus meets the Cyclops, Polyphemus, before he lands on the island of Phaeacia. This encounter occurs in Book 9 of Homer's "Odyssey," where Odysseus and his men find themselves trapped in the Cyclops' cave. They escape after blinding Polyphemus, which leads to further adventures before they eventually reach Phaeacia in later books. The timeline of events in the narrative clearly places the Cyclops encounter prior to their arrival on Phaeacia.
Odysseus reached Phaeacia after a series of challenges following his departure from Calypso's island. After being shipwrecked by Poseidon's wrath, he washed ashore on the island of Phaeacia, where he was discovered by Nausicaa, the daughter of King Alcinous. She brought him to the palace, where he received hospitality and shared his story with the Phaeacians. Their kindness ultimately aided him in his journey home to Ithaca.
