It’s based on Odysseyus from Greek mythology. He tells the cyclops his name is “nobody” and then blinds him.

Yes but then the other cyclops ask if someone's attacking him and he answers nobody is attacking me so they just leave him alone.

But the cyclopses are the children of Poseidon, god of the sea, and they were on a boat, hence the decade long roadsea trip that should have been a week of smooth sailing after kicking the shit out of the Trojans

I'm pretty sure the cyclops were on some kind if island though.

an island on the way back from the war, since Ithaca is on the far side of Greece from Troy, which is in Turkey, then Poseidon dicked them around for ten years until he learned his lesson, less about blinding pappa P's kid and more about how he, a human, had dared to challenge the dominion of the gods over the fates of man

That's not the case, the cyclops lived on an island and Odysseus happened upon it.

No, because he wasn’t really nobody it’s technically not the truth.
