Odysseus tricked Polythemus by telling him that his name was "Nohbdy." When Polythemus shouted for help, he yelled "Help, NOHBDY has blinded me." When the other cyclopes heard that NOBODY had hurt him, they laughed and went back to their own business.

What did Odysseus tell Polyphemus that his name was no man how did this help him?

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.

How do the Jets and the Giants share a stadium?

They are never home the same week. When the Giants are home, the Jets are away, and the other way around. When they do play against each other, there doesn't seem to be a method for deciding who is the home team, but that team gets the tickets. Also both teams can be away -SatsuiEvilRyu


Why was Odysseus able to stab the cyclops in the eye?

Before Odysseus leaves his ship with his men to explore the island he takes with him some wine and food. The wine was given to Odysseus by Maron, son of Euanthes and priest of Apollo, after Odysseus protected him and his child. Odysseus gives this wine to the Cyclops, and after the cyclops has drunk too much Odysseus addresses him and tells him his name is nobody. When the cyclops is sleeping Odysseus takes a sharpened stick and stabs the Cyclops in the eye, when the cyclops cries out in pain and calls for his brothers to help they ask who is hurting him and he says nobody, so his brothers think he is playing a trick on them and dont help.
