* CruelMercy: Odysseus, believing that Polyphemus no longer poses any threat after being blinded, refuses to kill the cyclops. This is partly out of distaste for further bloodshed after the Trojon War but also because he wants to force the cyclops to live crippled and burdened with the knowledge of who he was beaten by, which is why he proceeds to taunt Polyphemus with his name. This twisted act of mercy quickly comes back to bite him.
