During this whole story, Odysseus has shown three characteristics: Wisdom, Intelligence, Bravery, and most of all leadership. So, one of the signs he showed was wisdom and intelligence "My name is Nohbdy" (Homer Liner 315) He says his name is Nohbdy because if/when he tells the other cyclopes that this man has stabbed him in the eye and warn them. He will say his name Nohbdy instead of his actual name so it sounds like he's saying nobody. Some other ways he has shown charastics is Leadership. "'Friends, have we never been in danger before this? More fearsome, is it now, than when the Cyclops". (Homer Line 766) In this he is trying to calm down his men and tell him they've done this before with another person, so it should be easy again. Odysseus is being brave when he tells Polyphemus that his ships were sailed off course. "...blown off course by shifting gales on the Great South Sea;homeward bound, but taking routes and ways uncommon: so the will of Zeus would have it" (Homer line 205). In Part 2 he shows bravery when attacking the suitors and basically being a pawn so telemachus can get close. "a beggar by my looks...let your ribs cage up your springing heart...or practice shots at me, to drive me out" (Homer 1125).
