No he does not kill the cyclops (Polyphemus) he merely blinds him in his only eye
The Greek myths have no chronology. Odysseus did not kill the cyclops Polyphemus.
Odysseus did not kill the cyclops Polyphemus.
Odysseus doesn't kill the sleeping cyclops because he realizes that if he kills him, he won't be able to move the huge boulder blocking the cave's entrance. This means they would all be trapped inside with no chance of escape. Odysseus cleverly devises a plan to blind the cyclops instead and uses this opportunity to outwit him and escape.
There is no known myth about Artemis killing a cyclops.
Odysseus and his men blinded Polyphemus, but did not kill him.
In Greek mythology, the most well-known method to defeat a cyclops is by blinding it. Typically, this is achieved by piercing its single eye. Each cyclops may have unique weaknesses, so alternative methods could include traps or outsmarting it.
Odysseus does not kill the cyclops when he had the chance because he needed the cyclops to move the large stone blocking the exit of the cave. If he had killed the cyclops, he and his men would have been trapped inside the cave with no way out. Odysseus also wanted to learn the cyclops' name and establish a sense of hospitality before revealing his true identity.
If Odysseus kills the cyclops, he will not be able to get out of the cave. Only the cyclops can move the rock that blocks the exit.
because he was not that smart
because cyclops put a rock in the cave and nobody is strong enough to move it
so they could excape the cave. because only the cyclops could open the door.
