Nohbdy
Nohbdy
The Cyclops prays to Poseidon, the god of the sea, when he asks that Odysseus lose all his men and have a rough journey home. Poseidon holds a grudge against Odysseus for blinding the Cyclops, who is his son.
He calls himself "Nobody" or "No-Man". He also gets the Cyclops drunk and pretends to be "Nobody" instead of himself. Polyphemus (cyclops) gets drunk and asks Odysseus his name. He replied with "Nobody." As the cyclops falls down and collapses, Odysseus and his mean put red hot staff into his eye. When the cyclops screams and awakens, people around him ask him what's wrong. Cyclops replied with, "Nobody's killing me!."
Cyclops asks Poseidon to interfere with Odysseus's journey home out of revenge for blinding him. The Cyclops, Polyphemus, holds a grudge against Odysseus for blinding him and believes that his father, Poseidon, will assist him in seeking vengeance.
Odysseus uses his cleverness in the Cyclops episode by introducing himself as "Nobody," so when he blinds the Cyclops, Polyphemus, and asks for help, Polyphemus tells the other Cyclopes that "Nobody" is hurting him. This cunning plan helps Odysseus escape by making the other Cyclopes believe Polyphemus is not in danger.
1. When the Cyclops Polyphemus asks Odysseus where his ship is, Odysseus lies and says it was destroyed upon the rocks of the shore. 2. Odysseus told the cyclops that his name was "Nobody". When Odysseus and his men blind the cyclops (neither Odysseus nor the Cyclops dies), he yells to his friends for help. They ask him what is wrong and he answers saying, "Nobody's killing me now by fraud and not by force!" (Fagles' translation 9.455). They respond by saying that it must be the plague killing him and they can't help. They advise him to pray.
In the Odyssey by Homer Polyphemus, the cyclops asked Poseidon to make sure Odysseus never got home, and that he should lose all his men, so he would wander trying to find his way home alone.Hope that's good enough!kill odesyeus for revengeHe asks to take the barrel to the ship without getting caught by Odysseus
After Polyphemos (the cyclops) is blinded, the cyclops yell out to his father (Posiedon) and asks him to kill Odysseus and his crew. And if its not the gods will to kill him, then make his journey long and drawn out for a long time, and make it painful and bad too. He did that to get revenge. You should read the book.... or an abridged version anyways.
Odysseus tells Polyphemus that his name is "Nobody."
He tells him is name is Nohbdy. "Nohbdy, Nohbdy's tricked me, Nohbdy's ruined me!" -Polyphemus or Cyclops
Polyphemus laments, recalling when the seer Telemus told him that he would one day be blinded by Odysseus. The cyclops then calls out to his father Poseidon, and asks him to curse Odysseus. He asks him to kill Odysseus before he returns home or if Odysseus is fated to return home, then to ensure that he arrives alone on someone else's ship, having lost all of his crew, and with trouble in his home.
