He creates a plan in which he and all of his men hide under on of the Cyclop's rams and that allows them all to escape out of his cave unnoticed.
The Cyclops ate Odysseus' men.
Odysseus does not intentionally sail to the land of the Cyclops but ends up there when sailing home, possibly sent by the gods, or by Fate herself.
After Odysseus "visits" the cyclops, he and his men go to the Land of the Dead.
Cyclops, which would happen to be polyphemus.
Odysseus takes 12 of his best men to explore the land of the cyclops including Polyphemus' cave.
12 Ships
In retrospect it was not. But Odysseus could not know this in advance, could he?
Odysseus defeated the cyclops in book IX, he also escaped the Land of the Lotus Eaters in that chapter.
When Odysseus reaches the land of the Cyclops, his responsibilities are to protect his crew, find a way to escape the Cyclops Polyphemus, and ensure the safe return home of himself and his men. This includes devising a plan to blind Polyphemus and then escape from his cave without being caught.
They got trapped in a cave and many of them were eaten until Odysseus worked out a way to escape.
I thought this was a stupid decision. Odysseus knew what the cyclops could do to him. He also knew that he had really ticked off the cyclops. By taunting him from his ship, he just made him more upset and almost killed his crew, as well as himself. Also by doing this, he got himself cursed by Posiden. I hope this helped!
I don't think he did i wouldn't say it was the worst but not sure
