When Odysseus says that no man can avoid the eye of HeliOS, he is referring to the all-seeing nature of the sun god HeliOS. In Greek mythology, HeliOS was believed to see and know everything that happens on Earth. Therefore, Odysseus is acknowledging that it is impossible to escape the attention and wrath of HeliOS if one commits a transgression against him, such as the actions of his crew in Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey."
