Who was blinded by someone named Outis?

Polyphemus was the Cyclops who was blinded by Odysseus, who cleverly introduced himself to Polyphemus as "Outis," meaning "nobody" in Greek. In the famous story from Homer's "Odyssey," after Odysseus and his men become trapped in Polyphemus's cave, Odysseus devises a plan to escape. He gives the Cyclops strong wine and, once Polyphemus is intoxicated, he blinds him with a sharp stake while the other Cyclopes, hearing Polyphemus's cries for help, do not assist him, as he claims that "nobody" is hurting him. This clever play on words is a crucial part of the myth and emphasizes Odysseus's cunning nature.

The other options refer to different characters from mythology: Odysseus is the hero in the same story, Oedipus is known for his tragic fate involving his own eyes and fate, and Hercules is a famed hero known for his strength and adventures, none of which involve being blinded by someone named Outis. Thus, the story and the character of Polyphemus align perfectly with the name of "Outis."
