Polyphemus begins eating the men two at a time until Odysseus offers him wine and he becomes inebriated. At this point, Odysseus tells the cyclops his name is "No One" . After Polyphemus falls asleep, Odysseus and his men sharpening a huge stake and drive the point through the cyclops' eye, blinding him. When Polyphemus opens the cave to let out his sheep, Odysseus and his men hide under their wooly coats and escape.

Polyphemus, seeing the his dinner was fleeing started to grab and eat them. Odysseus used rope to trip the cyclops and distract him. While the cyclops was distracted Odysseus and his remaining crew took a large branch from the nearby fire and got Polyphemus to back into a wall and they made him drink his own tainted wine. They grabbed the red-hot branch and rammed him in his only eye with it destroying his sight.Prior to this Odysseus had told him (Polyphemus) that his name was 'Nobody'.
