During Book 9 of the Odyssey, Odysseus demonstrates a combination of physical and intellectual strength to effectively outwit Polyphemus and escape the island of Sicily.
When Polyphemus comes back from grouping his run of sheep, he plunks down and murders two a greater amount of Odysseus' men. By then, Odysseus offers Polyphemus the solid wine given to him by Maron. The wine makes Polyphemus alcoholic and unwary. When Polyphemus requests Odysseus' name, promising him a visitor blessing on the off chance that he answers, Odysseus says: 'I will let you know. Be that as it may, you should give me a visitor blessing as you've guaranteed. No one that is my name. No one so my mom and father call me, and every one of my companions.' Odysseus was not revealing to Polyphemus his genuine name, implying that Polyphemus doesn't have the foggiest idea what odysseus' identity is yet. Polyphemus considers it a genuine name and says that he will eat 'nobody' last and this will be his visitor blessing. Polyphemus collides with the floor and drops. Odysseus, with the assistance of his men, lifts the blazing stake, charges forward and drives it into Polyphemus' eye, blinding him. With Polyphemus now blinded he shouts for help from his kindred cyclopes that 'nobody' has harmed him. The different cyclopes think Polyphemus is making a trick out of them or that it must be an issue with the divine beings and leave. When morning comes, Odysseus and his men escape from the cavern, inconspicuous by Polyphemus, by sticking to Polyphemus' sheep as they go out to touch.
Notwithstanding, Odysseus at that point negates his own valor by saying: 'Cyclops-if any man on the substance of the Earth ought to ask you who blinded, disgraced you so-state Odysseus, pillager of urban areas, he gouged out your eye, Laertes' child who makes his home in Ithaca!'. Odysseus needed to let Polyphemus realize who was the man who outmaneuvered him, and uncovered his name, family, and home.
