Answer:

pride.

Explanation:

This scene, one of the most intriguing ones in the Odyssey, shows at once Odysseus´ pride and trickery, for in having successfully blinded the Cyclops, as he is making his escape along with his men, he yells at the Cyclops Polyphemus that it was him, Odysseus, who blinded him, but he doesn´t use his actual name, but an epithet that Homer uses in other passages to refer to Odysseus, and the epithet means “nobody”: the cyclops complains to other cyclops that he was blinded by “nobody”.
