Yes, there is a conflict between Polyphemus, the Cyclops, and Odysseus in Homer's "The Odyssey." Polyphemus traps Odysseus and his men in his cave and begins to eat them one by one. Odysseus blinds Polyphemus, which angers the Cyclops and leads to further conflict between them.
Odysseus called out to Polyphemus that he was the one who blinded him as a tactical move to boast and reveal his identity. This was a strategic decision by Odysseus to show his cunning and attempt to gain favor with the Cyclops. However, it ultimately led to further conflict and challenges for Odysseus and his crew.
Poseidon is the father of Polyphemus, the Cyclops encountered by Odysseus in Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey. Poseidon plays a role in Polyphemus' story when Odysseus blinds him, resulting in Poseidon's anger towards Odysseus for causing harm to his son.
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.
Polyphemus responds to Odysseus with anger and violence after Odysseus blinds him. He curses Odysseus and his men, calling for vengeance from his father Poseidon. Polyphemus then blocks the exit of the cave, trapping Odysseus and his crew inside.
Odysseus blinded Polyphemus so that him and his men could escape.
The cyclops with whom Odysseus has a conflict is named Polyphemus. In Homer's "Odyssey," Odysseus and his men become trapped in Polyphemus's cave, and they must devise a clever plan to escape. Odysseus blinds Polyphemus after getting him drunk, and in doing so, he incurs the wrath of Poseidon, Polyphemus's father. This encounter significantly complicates Odysseus's journey home to Ithaca.
Polyphemus was the son of Poseidon, who hated Odysseus.
No. Polyphemus and Odysseus become mortal enemies.
Polyphemus hadn't known that it was Odysseus in his house. Odysseus had lied and told Polyphemus (the cyclops) that his name was Nobody. Odysseus and his crew had also blinded Polyphemus.

Polyphemus was the son of Poseidon, who hated Odysseus. Polyphemus knew nothing of Odysseus until he found Odysseus and his men in Polyphemus' cave, although he was once told by the sage Telemus that he would be blinded someday by a man named Odysseus.
When Odysseus taunts the Cyclops Polyphemus, his men attempt to stop him, highlighting a conflict between loyalty to their leader and their instinct for self-preservation. The crew fears that Odysseus's hubris will provoke the Cyclops further, endangering their lives. This conflict underscores the tension between Odysseus's pride and the collective safety of his crew, ultimately leading to dire consequences when Polyphemus retaliates. The incident illustrates the dangers of individual bravado against the backdrop of communal responsibility.
