i think some people completely overlook or underestimate just how clever the Nobody maneuver is

when i say ‘the Nobody maneuever’ i mean the trick odysseus used on polyphemus to escape his island

First of all, I’ll start by saying that when Odysseus and his men blind the Cyclops they do this using a spear made of olive wood. I don’t think I really have to explain why this is symbolic, considering olive trees are relevant to both Odysseus himself (loyalty, perseverance) and his patron goddess Athena (intelligence, war). Odysseus blinds the Cyclops with a staff made of perseverance and intelligence.

Anyway, back to Nobody— the Greek word used in the original poem is “Outis”. Interchangeable for “outis” in Greek is “métis”. Métis is the name of Athena’s mother (again, relevant to the olive spear). Incidentally, Métis (the goddess) is the personification of good advice and métis (the word) means intelligent or even Cunning. If you’ve read the Odyssey or the Iliad, “cunning” will immediately strike you as one of the more popular epithets for Odysseus.

So basically, when Odysseus introduces himself to the Cyclops as ‘no one’, he is also introducing himself as ‘the Cunning’. Apart from being a very fun pun, this sets up Odysseus’ hubris, his incapability of leaving his trickery uncredited.

Within the narrative, it perfectly paves the way for his self-confident proclamation that he isn’t “nobody”, he is Odysseus. Funnily enough, with this play at words, by denying the fact that he is “outis”/“métis” he also denies the fact that he is cunning at all...
