Odysseus and his men were trapped by a cyclops inside his cave. He sharpened a big tree trunk and stabbed him in his only eye, which blinded him. Earlier in the tale he told the cyclops his name was nobody. So when he was yelling to try to get another cyclops to help him he was saying, "nobody blinded me", so no one came to help him. So Odysseus and his crew got away.
