Odysseus demands that the nurse say nothing about his being alive to Penelope when she finds out the beggar is actually him but disguised. Odysseus told lies to Penelope because she still has not found out that he was alive. Odysseus himself would talk to Penelope but disguised as a beggar and she didn't notice. Penelope still thought that Odysseus was still out there dead or alive she sent her

When Polyphemus asks Odysseus his name, Odysseus proclaims that his name is Nobody. It is part of the escape plan him and his men. When he blinds Polyphemus, Polyphemus screams for help and exclaims that Nobody blinded him. Polyphemus can not see to give chase, and his relatives believe nobody blinded Polyphemus.
