Odysseus tells the cyclops Polyphemus that his ship was smashed upon the rocks of the shore, and that these dozen men are all that have survived.
The second lie Odysseus tells the Cyclops is that his ship was wrecked on the rocks of his island due to the wrath of Poseidon, the god of earthquakes. He claims they are the only survivors and begs the Cyclops for help.
Odysseus did not trust the cyclops. Polyphemus might have attempted to smash the ship to ensure that there was no means of escape.
1. When the Cyclops Polyphemus asks Odysseus where his ship is, Odysseus lies and says it was destroyed upon the rocks of the shore. 2. Odysseus told the cyclops that his name was "Nobody". When Odysseus and his men blind the cyclops (neither Odysseus nor the Cyclops dies), he yells to his friends for help. They ask him what is wrong and he answers saying, "Nobody's killing me now by fraud and not by force!" (Fagles' translation 9.455). They respond by saying that it must be the plague killing him and they can't help. They advise him to pray.
Odysseus tells Polyphemus that his name is "Nobody" when asked for his name. This allows Odysseus to trick Polyphemus when he later blinds him and Polyphemus calls for help, claiming that "Nobody" is attacking him.
