Odysseus lies to the Cyclops because he was being cautious. He did not know much about the creature, therefore he didn't want to tell the Cyclops "personal information." This shows Odysseus' cleverness.

Odysseus lied to the cyclops because he new that if he did not he would die. Odysseus shows the traits of deceitfulness because he tricked the cyclops, also wisdom because he would have died if he had not.
