Answer : Odysseus' name sounds like nobody. He means that the cyclops will be eating nobody. Lines 276-277: Explain the irony of the gift the Cyclops says he will give to Odysseus. The irony is that the gift is the gift of the God and Odysseus is not a god.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because he mean he will eat odysseus last, but he stumbles on the truth later on that he will eat no more of Odysseus's men
