Answer:

The three strategies were, getting the cyclops drunk, Odysseus saying his name was nobody, hiding his own men under the cyclops sheep in bid to escape

Step-by-step explanation:

The three strategies that the wily Odysseus used in outwitting the one eyed creature called Polyphemus in the cave in which him and his men were ,trapped in is as follows

  • Odysseus told Polyphemus that his name was nobody, in doing so he confuses the other cyclops. eventually when him and his men attacked Polyphemus by blinding him (Polyphemus), when the rest of the cyclops heard Polyphemus screamed , and then they asked him who was attacking him, he replied saying nobody
  • He hides his own men under Polyphemus sheep, as a bid to escape from the cave.
  • Gave Polyphemus a wind in away to make him tired and drunk
