Arrogance. The reason he invoked Poseidon's wrath was due to him revealing his name to Polyphemos. Polyphemos (a cyclops, if you don't remember) was not aware of who Odysseus was, since Odysseus had introduced himself as 'nobody'. However, his arrogance led him to reveal his name as he sailed away. Therefore, Polyphemos was able to tell Poseidon, his father, the name of the man who had wounded him. Which leads to Odysseus' famous wanderings.

Why Poseidon should help cyclops?
The Cyclops (in 'The Odyssey') is the Son of Poseidon, that is why he should and does help this Cyclops.Explanation:In Homer's, 'The Odyssey,' the Cyclops, who traps Odysseus and his companions, is the Offspring (Child) of Poseidon and a Sea Nymph; therefore it stands to reason that Poseidon lent a helping hand to this specific Cyclops, because naturally parents help and/or watch over their children (especially the Greek & Roman God's and their children).
When posiden prevented Odysseus from coming home did he know it was posiden?
I don't think he necessarily knew it was Poseidon for certain, but throughout the book, Odysseus knows that the gods are making him an unlucky man and that they are the reason he can't seem to get back home. He may have figured that Poseidon was part of the reason, but he couldn't point the blame on just one god because, to the humans, they all work together and it was more than just bad luck with the sea that was preventing him from getting home.

Why did Poseidon speak on Ares' behalf in Book 8 of Odyssey?
Poseidon is the one who's so relentless in his persecution of Odysseus for Odysseus' blinding of Polyphemus _ not that bad an act since Odysseus was acting in self-defense and only wounded Polyphemus. Now Hephaistos has been wronged, but when it's not Poseidon own son's honor (and thus his own honor) in question, he becomes the voice of reason, all for brokering a deal. Ironic. The other noteworthy relationship between Poseidon and Ares that I can think of (especially relevant for an Athenian audience) is that there's a story Ares once killed a son of Poseidon's who had raped/tried to rape an Athenian girl. The gods formed a court and Ares was acquitted of murder at the spot known as Areopagus (where Athens' murder court was established). But surely it's ironic Poseidon stands up for someone known to have killed one of his sons. Hephaistos is an analogue of Odysseus, not to mention Penelope, with his cunning woven contrivance. But rather than killing the 'suitor' who is taking his wife, he's content to humiliate him. That's inevitable because: what else are you going to do with an *immortal* adulterer, kill him? But you could reverse this and see Hephistos here as acting like Poseidon. Poseidon wants to kill Odysseus, but is forbidden to do so by his big brother Zeus, the ultimate arbiter. So instead he makes Odysseus suffer.
