Polyphemus, the Cyclops from Homer's "Odyssey," responds to Odysseus's cunning by initially expressing anger and disbelief when Odysseus blinds him. After being tricked and realizing he has been outsmarted, he calls upon his father, Poseidon, to curse Odysseus and make his journey home more difficult. This response highlights Polyphemus's pride and rage, as well as the theme of vengeance against those who wrong him. Ultimately, his reaction sets off a chain of events that complicates Odysseus's journey.
