Later, the Cyclops passed out and then Odysseus and his men took a steak and drove it into the cyclops' eye, blinding the creature. Then the cyclops woke up and cried in agony to the other cyclops that Nohbdy as killing him. Odysseus' plan had worked out.
Odysseus makes an elaborate plan to hug the bottom of the cyclops' sheep, so he can get out when they go to graze the land. He and his men sick to the plan and end up seeing the light of day again after suffering many casualties.
"Cyclops, if ever mortal man inquire how you were put to shame and blinded, tell him Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye; Laertes' son, whose home's on Ithaca!"
"Grant that Odysseus, raider of cities, never see his home."
Just as Odysseus and his men get back to the hip and prepare to leave, Odysseus makes the terrible mistake of shouting his real name to the cyclops, boasting about his triumph. As punishment, the cyclops tells the gods to never let Odysseus see the land of Ithaca again.
