What happens at the island of the cyclops in the odyssey?
Odysseus and his men steal food and other items from Polyphemus' cave (a cyclops). They planned to take the materials and leave but Odysseus is curious to see what the cyclops looks like. They stay to meet Polyphemus, getting trapped in his cave. To get free they sharpen a wooden pole, get the cyclops drunk, and blind him by stabbing his eye while he's asleep. Polyphemus moves the large rock blocking the cave and Odysseus and his men escape clinging to the bellies of sheep.

Describe an instance of Odysseus acting against the advice his men?
Odysseus' decision to stay at Polyphemus' cave proves disastrous. When the Cyclops returns, he kills several of Odysseus' men and eats them. Odysseus manages to escape, but his blinding of Polyphemus, who was a son of Poseidon, has terrible consequences. When Odysseus finally reveals his true identity to Polyphemus, the monster prays to his father for vengeance. This prayer brings about Poseidon's persecution of Odysseus and in Odysseus' return from Troy being significantly delayed.

Why does Odysseus stay in the Cyclops cave after eating and drinking?
I believe he wanted to meet the owner of the cave because he didn't know who inhabited the island. When he first came in, he and his men just discovered a cave with food (and sheep I think).
