Answer:

Another theme in Books 9 and 12 is cunning. Ulysses uses his cunning when he tells Polyphemus that his name is Noman. He uses this name to deceive the beast who devoured two of his men:

While thus my fraudful speech I reassume.

'Thy promised boon, O Cyclop! now I claim,

And plead my title; Noman is my name.

His plan works. When the blind Cyclops screams about “no man” killing him, his neighbors leave because they think he is suffering from a disease:

Friends, Noman kills me; Noman in the hour

Of sleep, oppresses me with fraudful power.'

'If no man hurt thee, but the hand divine

Inflict disease, it fits thee to resign:

To Jove or to thy father Neptune pray.'

The brethren cried, and instant strode away.

Then in Book 12, his cunning is seen again when he doesn’t reveal to his men that six of them will perish on their journey home. Ulysses knows that sacrificing six men is the only way to safely pass by Scylla. He also devises a clever way to get past the Sirens. He fills his men’s ears with wax so they can’t hear the Sirens’ song, and he has them tie him to the mast of the ship:

The aerial region now grew warm with day,

The wax dissolved beneath the burning ray;

Then every ear I barr'd against the strain,

And from access of frenzy lock'd the brain.

Now round the masts my mates the fetters roll'd,

And bound me limb by limb with fold on fold.

Then bending to the stroke, the active train

Plunge all at once their oars, and cleave the main.
