If Odysseus is so adept at making entire stories up on the spot (i.e. the tale he told the swineherd as a beggar), could the events during his journey like the cyclops island and Scylla/Charybdis be lies he told to gain sympathy from King Alcinous and the other Phoenicians?

Yes. Could very well be.
All of it though, is a lie told by Homer and other poets.
