Odysseus tells Polyphemus that his name is "Nobody" when asked for his name. This allows Odysseus to trick Polyphemus when he later blinds him and Polyphemus calls for help, claiming that "Nobody" is attacking him.

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).
