Odysseus is curious as to the type of person the cyclops is, so he decides to wait with his men inside the cave. He also would like gifts from the cyclops as per the custom of giving gifts to visitors at that time.

Odysseus is a smart, smart man. If he had killed the cyclops then he and his men would have been trapped in the cyclops' cave forever. Remeber, he pushed a huge boulder in front of the door when he came in. If he had tried to kill him after he and his men escaped by hiding under the sheep then the cyclops would have cried out to his companions and all the rest of the Cyclopses would have come out and killed Odysseus, sunk his boat and killed his men. He is too smart to resort to violence right away... not like his companions in Troy.
The cyclops werent even the ones to free Odysseus and his men, when the men were in the cave with their cyclops they blinded him with the cyclops's own sharpened bludgeon, Odysseus using he keen sense of mind says his name is "nobody", when the cyclops is stabbed with the steak, he screams having his friends from other caves come and ask what had happened/ who did this? his response is "nobody did this" so the other cyclops went away. When the blinded cyclops needed help he opened up his cave having the sheep inside to run out figuring that the men will be bound to escape and so when they do he can kill them. Smart enough, Odysseus and his men grabbed onto the underbellies of the sheep to safely excape. As the cyclops felt each sheep as they walked out of the cave, he was trying to make sure no men were escaping, but the cyclops not knowing they were underneith, and so Odysseus and his men escape thanks to Odysseus. As they enter their boats, the cyclops curses them and asks for his fathers help to kill the men who had injured him, his father being posiden. As they set sail, the waves are massive and the weather is awful, on top of that, the other cyclops were throwing boulders out to the ship to destroy it and its inhabitants aboard... hope this helps!

Wine and food. The cyclops gets drunk, and then Odysseus stabs the cyclops in the eye with a sharpened log, then he gets away! Odysseus gives the cyclops 4 bowls of wine. As a parting gift, Odysseus and his men give the Cyclops a burning hole in its eye.

When Odysseus is sailing away, he reveals his true name while taunting the cyclops Polyphemus. This proves to be a poor choice that ends up coming back to haunt him later. The name Odysseus originally gives the cyclops is 'Noman' or 'Nobody'.
