Polyphemus, the cyclops in Greek mythology, seeks the help of his father Poseidon to seek revenge on Odysseus for blinding him.
The other Cyclopes refused to help Polyphemus because they believed he was being punished by the gods for his mistreatment of Odysseus and his men. They did not want to anger the gods by interfering in the situation.
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.
Odysseus tells Polyphemus that his name is "Nobody." When Polyphemus asks for help during an attack, Odysseus and his men blind him using a wooden stake. When Polyphemus calls out for help, he tells the other Cyclopes that "Nobody" is attacking him, so they do not come to his aid.
Odysseus cunningly told the cyclops, Polyphemus, that he was named "Nobody". As a result, when Polyphemus was screaming in horrible pain after Odysseus (Nobody) stabbed him with a stake in the eye, the neighboring cyclopes yelled to Polyphemus to see if he needed help. Polyphemus responded that Nobody was attacking him.
Other cyclopes do not help Polyphemus because he is portrayed as a solitary creature in Homer's Odyssey. Each cyclops is independent and looks out for themselves. Additionally, Polyphemus behaves aggressively towards others, which may contribute to his isolation.
Poseidon is his father.

polyphemus yells and calls his fellow cyclops for help. When they come they ask who is hurting him, he answers NOBODY IS KILLING ME! and at this all the cyclops laugh and go away.
The other Cyclopes ask Polyphemus who has hurt him, and what his name is. They are concerned about what has happened to him and want to know the identity of the perpetrator.
The other cyclopses didn't help because Odysseus introduced himself as Nobody, so when Polyphemus said that Nobody poked his eye out, the cyclopses thought he was kidding. Odysseus did this on purpose
He cuts out his tongue
