Though Odysseus had told the cyclops his name was "Nhbdy" (sounds like "nobody" so when another cyclops asked the initial cyclops who had his eye pierced and he replied "Nbdhy did this to me", a move Odysseus used in order to cleverly save himself form punishment), when he was safe in his ship he made the arrogant mistake of announcing his real name to the cyclops in a pointless, prideful gesture, and therefore ticked off Poseidon. Or I think that's how it went...I'd double-check if I were you.
