Eurylochus criticizes Odysseus for risking their lives by not leaving the island immediately after Polyphemus, the Cyclops, was blinded. He believes Odysseus's curiosity and desire for glory led to their dangerous situation. Eurylochus thinks Odysseus's behavior was reckless and irresponsible.
The second lie Odysseus tells the Cyclops is that his ship was wrecked on the rocks of his island due to the wrath of Poseidon, the god of earthquakes. He claims they are the only survivors and begs the Cyclops for help.
Eurylochus convinces Odysseus and his crew to stop on Helios' island by explaining that they are in dire need of rest and supplies. He argues that they should take advantage of the island's resources before continuing their journey, despite the potential consequences of angering Helios.
Eurylochus was more persuasive on the Island of Helios because he played on the fears and emotions of the crew, appealing to their immediate desires despite the consequences. In contrast, Odysseus tried to uphold discipline and loyalty to the gods, which didn't resonate with the crew's desperation. Eurylochus's persuasive tactics were more effective in this situation.
The cyclops violates xenia by not offering hospitality to Odysseus and his men when they arrive on his island. Instead of welcoming them with food and shelter, the cyclops imprisons them in his cave and eats some of Odysseus's men. This goes against the customs of hospitality and guest-friendship.
Eurylochus criticized Odysseus for staying on Circe's island because he feared for their safety and suspected Circe of being deceitful. He was concerned about being trapped or harmed by the witch and believed they were better off leaving as soon as possible. Eurylochus wanted to prioritize the safety of the crew and continue their journey back home.
Eurylochus.

Odysseus was trapped in the cave of the cyclops in the cyclops island. He was later trapped for 7 years on Calypso's island.
joke
He does not invite Odysseus back to the island.
Eurylochus was given command of 22 men to explore the island, (half of the crew). They meet Circe, and feast at her house. However, Eurylochus being suspicious, does not eat of the food or drink the wine. When the crew members are turned into swine, Eurylochus runs back to the ship to warn Odysseus. Later when Odysseus comes back, and Eurylochus does not want to go back to Circe's palace, Odysseus is angry enough to behead him, but is stopped by the rest of the crew.
he tricks the cyclops into thinking his name is "nobhdy" to escape the island
The cyclops
as Odysseus sailed away he said to Polyphemus '' it is I Odysseus who blinded you.''

in the poem "the odyssey," Odysseus himself trys to be clever and tells the cyclops his name is Nohbdy. so when they stabbed the cyclops' eye, the cyclops shouted nobody has done this to me! But, when Odysseus is on his way to leave the island, he gloats and says "it is i Odysseus!"
