Odysseus reveals his true identity to Polyphemus because he is absorbed in the moment. He has just designed an ingenious escape and blinded a cyclops, and, caught up in the glory of the moment doesn't think about the consequenses of his actions. Hubris (excessive pride) is one of his character flaws.
