Odysseus blind the Cyclops. The way he does this, is that he had seen some large logs burning in the cave. So, Odysseus and his crew had managed to lift up one of the logs and shove the burning end of the log into the eye of the Cyclops, which does NOT kill him, but does blind him.

Odysseus blinds the cyclops Polyphemus by driving a wooden stake into his eye while he is asleep. This allows Odysseus and his men to escape from the cyclops's cave, but it also incurs the wrath of Poseidon, the father of the cyclops.
