In Homer's Odyssey, Odysseus and his men are trapped by the cyclops Polyphemus in his cave after they go in seeking provisions for their journey. 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. As they are sailing away, Polyphemus asks for help from his friends, claiming that "No One" has blinded him.
