Why won't anyone help Polyphemus?

Before Polyphemus (name means many loud shouts) is blinded by Odysseus, he asks him his name as he has a gift for him. Odysseus tells Polyphemus his name is "Nobody." When the other Cyclops ask Polyphemus why he is shouting and ask if he is being attacked, Polyphemus tells them, "Nobody is attacking me," so they all think it is an affliction sent by the Gods and tell him to pray to his father Poseidon for relief.
