Achilles
Solution
Answer
The answer is Nobody.
Explanation
Option 1: Somebody
This is incorrect. Odysseus did not tell the Cyclops that his name was Somebody.
Option 2: Nobody
This is correct. In Homer's epic, "The Odyssey," Odysseus cleverly tells the Cyclops Polyphemus that his name is "Nobody." This trick allows him to escape when Polyphemus calls for help, saying that "Nobody" is attacking him.
Option 3: any body
This is incorrect. Odysseus did not use the name "any body."
Option 4: Achilles
This is incorrect. Achilles is another hero from Greek mythology, but Odysseus did not use this name when speaking to the Cyclops.
