Wine and Food off of his ship!
Western Sicily (island off the coast of Italy)
He said his name was Nobody then he gave rum to the cyclops so he went to sleep then he sharpened a spear, heated it in the fire and stabbed the cyclops in the eye with it then he tied himself and his men underneath the sheep and sailed off and the cyclops yelled "Nobody has blinded me!" so the other cyclopses (cyclopi?) didn't think he ment someone had blinded him.
Zeus sent Hermes to tell Calypso to set Odysseus free. Calypso offered Odyseus immortality to make him stay, but he refused to stay on Ogygia.

I thought this was a stupid decision. Odysseus knew what the cyclops could do to him. He also knew that he had really ticked off the cyclops. By taunting him from his ship, he just made him more upset and almost killed his crew, as well as himself. Also by doing this, he got himself cursed by Posiden. I hope this helped!

They lived on a large volcanic island, whose name is not mentioned in the myths. It is believed to be off the west coast of Italy, possibly Sicily.

In the Odyssey, they ride sheep into the Cyclops' cave. They then heat a spear in the fire and stab the Cyclops in his eye, blinding him. After that, they sail off. That's the most basic story. If you want the elaborate one, read the Odyssey.

Just off the coast of Sicily, near the city of Catania.

There are actually several different cyclops. They are considered brothers and live on an island in the eastern Aegean Sea according to The Odyssey. Some references say they are the sons of titans whereas other sources say they are the sons of Poseidon. Another place they may be located is in Hephaestus' workshop on Mt. Olympus seeing as they craft Zeus' lightning bolts.
