He begged his father to make Odysseus's journey back to Ithaka either impossible, or extremely difficult if it was Odysseus's destiny to go back home. Polyphemus begs his father to make him return under strange sail, meaning that he'll come back as a stranger in which nobody will recognize. He begs his journey will be full of misery and death, and that he will return home with NOBODY left (all his crewmen will die).

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.
