What foolish thing does Odysseus say to the Cyclops that demonstrates excessive pride?
Initially, Odysseus is cunning in being able to trick the Cyclops into believing his name was "Nobody" because the Cyclops would then be prevented from calling for help continually saying "Nobody is here!"
However, Odysseus demonstrates excessive pride in having tricked the Cyclops and foolishly reveals that he is not "Nobody" but in fact the great "Odysseus." Enraged, the Cyclops calls upon his father Poseidon to punish Odysseus, and thus Odysseus's long journey home.
