When Odysseus gives Polyphemus his real name, why does this cause trouble?
It allows the other Cyclopes to help track him down.
He slows down to yell to Polyphemus and thus, his crewmen are killed.
Polyphemus then told his father Poseidon who had blinded him, and thus Odysseus and his crew suffered dreadfully from Poseidon’s curse.
It illustrates how Odysseus’s pride injures him.
