Polyphemus asked his father Poseidon to take justice on Odysseus.
Odysseus calls to the god Poseidon for vengeance when he escapes from the cave of the Cyclops Polyphemus in Homer's "The Odyssey." This act angers Poseidon, who is the father of Polyphemus, and sets off a series of obstacles for Odysseus on his journey back home.
When Odysseus introduced himself as "No Man," he cunningly deceived Polyphemus, the Cyclops. By doing so, Odysseus made it difficult for Polyphemus to identify him later when seeking vengeance. As a result, when Odysseus and his men blinded the Cyclops and escaped, Polyphemus couldn't call out a specific name for help, allowing Odysseus to continue on his journey without immediate retribution.
By revealing his real name, Odysseus allowed Polyphemus to curse him by name and call his father Poseidon to torment him.
One major flaw Odysseus makes after escaping from Polyphemus is bragging about his feat while still within earshot of the Cyclops. This leads Polyphemus to call upon his father, Poseidon, to curse Odysseus and prolong his journey home.
I wouldn't call it a battle, per se, but Polyphemus was the Cyclops that imprisoned Odysseus and his men. Odysseus put out his eye and tricked the giant into saying that No Man hurt him when calling for aid.
Odysseus told Polyphemus that his name was "Noman" to deceive the Cyclops and ensure that when he injured him, Polyphemus would call for help by saying that "Noman" was attacking him. This clever trick prevented the other Cyclopes from coming to Polyphemus's aid, as they believed he was simply afflicted by some unseen force. By using this ruse, Odysseus was able to escape from the cave after blinding Polyphemus, thus outsmarting the giant and securing his crew's safety.
Odysseus calls himself "Nobody" to trick the Cyclops Polyphemus in the Odyssey. This clever trick allows Odysseus to escape when he blinds Polyphemus and the other Cyclopes ask who harmed him. Polyphemus replies that "Nobody" has harmed him, so they do not come to his aid.
The Cyclops Polyphemos is the son of Poseidon. When Ployphemos is wounded, thwarted, and mocked by Odysseus, he calls out to his father for vengeance. Thus bringing a curse from Poseidon down upon the head of Odysseus.
The cyclops, Polyphemus, welcomes Odysseus and crew into his home (cave). Polyphemus plot was to bring people to his home, feed them, give them a potent wine that cause them to fall asleep and finally he would eat them. Oydsseus saw the bones lying about when they entered and became uneasy. After the crew wined and dined they fell asleep (except Odysseus) and Polyphemus put his plan into effect, but Odysseus woke the others in an attempt to escape only to be stopped by the large door blocking the entrance. Polyphemus, seeing the his dinner was fleeing started to grab and eat them. Odysseus used rope to trip the cyclops and distract him. While the cyclops was distracted Odysseus and his remaining crew took a large branch from the nearby fire and got Polyphemus to back into a wall and they made him drink his own tainted wine. They grabbed the red-hot branch and rammed him in his only eye with it destroying his sight.Prior to this Odysseus had told him (Polyphemus) that his name was 'Nobody'. As the crew are running to the ship Polyphemus begins to call out the his fellow giants but no one bothers with him because he claims 'Nobody' blinded him. He begins to hurl boulders at the ship and gives up only to pray to his father, Poseidon, who curses the rest of Odysseus' voyage.

Well, according to google dictionary, a ninny is a foolish person. In the Cyclopes, the Giant calls Odysseus a ninny because Polyphemus (the Cyclops) is mad about being stabbed in the eye and going blind, so as an insult, he calls Odysseus a ninny. Hope this helps!
