Odysseus used his intelligence and cunningness to outsmart the Cyclops, Polyphemus. By cleverly convincing Polyphemus that his name was "Nobody" and blinding him while he was drunk, Odysseus was able to escape from the Cyclops's cave.
Odysseus taunts the cyclops to boast about his cleverness and bravery, showcasing his pride and overconfidence. This ultimately leads to the cyclops calling upon his father Poseidon to curse Odysseus, resulting in a series of challenges and delays on his journey back home. Odysseus's hubris in taunting the cyclops leads to significant consequences as it prolongs his journey and puts his crew at risk.
Odysseus refuses to leave because he wants to know the Cyclops' name. In Greek culture, knowing one's name gives you power over them. By staying, Odysseus hopes to learn the name of the Cyclops and use it to gain an advantage or seek revenge in the future.
The cyclops should free Odysseus and his men from the cave as a matter of hospitality and respect for guests. It is customary in ancient Greek culture to treat guests with kindness and provide hospitality, so releasing them would demonstrate adherence to this cultural norm. Furthermore, angering the gods by showing disrespect to guests could lead to negative consequences.
