1. In Greek Mythology, the Cyclops were one-eyed
giants with great power, low intelligence, wildlife and anti-
social behavior. The most famous cyclops was Polyphemus,
whom Odysseus encountered on his return after the Trojan
War.
Polyphemus was very tall with great power, without
respecting or speaking to Zeus or any other god. Odysseus
and his men were trapped inside the cave of Polyphemus,
when he returned, closing the entrance to the cave with a
giant rock.
Their stay ends in a parody of the law of hospitality,
as Polyphemus began to eat his guests one by one instead of
offering them food. The gift of hospitality he gives to
Odysseus is to eat him last.
Like the Cyclops, Odysseus used the code of
hospitality as a weapon against the uncivilized Polyphemus.
When the giant asked him his name, he replied that his name
was "None". Then he offered the Cyclops wine (not wine,
along with water, as usual) in order to intoxicate him. When
he fell asleep, Odysseus and his remaining men nailed him
to his only eye with a sharp wooden beam that they carved
for this reason. The blind Polyphemus began to shout for
help to the other Cyclops, saying that "Nobody" blinded
him.
When the next day he lifted the rock that blocked the
exit of the cave, Odysseus and his men hid under the rams of
the herd that was coming out, and thus managed to escape
from the hands of the Cyclops. However, Odysseus
succumbed to his human nature and as he was leaving with
his ship he shouted from afar his real name and bragged
about his success against Polyphemus.

2. He then begged his father Poseidon to take revenge
on Odysseus and cursed him to be tortured until he reached
his homeland. This curse was the main reason for Odysseus'
suffering on his return to Ithaca.
