The Greek myths have no chronology. Odysseus did not kill the cyclops Polyphemus.
Odysseus did not kill the cyclops. Polyphemus, Poseidon's one eyed son, was blinded by Odysseus and his men in "The Odyssey" by Homer, Part 1.
because cyclops put a rock in the cave and nobody is strong enough to move it
Odysseus and his men blinded Polyphemus, but did not kill him. Odysseus and his men got Polyphemus (the cyclops) drunk on wine and while he was asleep they blinded him by poking him in the eye with a stick and then escaped by holding on underneath the sheep when he let them out of the cave to graze.
so they could excape the cave. because only the cyclops could open the door.
Only the Cyclops contains to strength required to move the massive boulder that's blocking the exit. If Odysseus killed the Cyclops, then Odysseus and the men in the cavern will starve to death.
Odysseus did not kill the cyclops Polyphemus.
Odysseus and his men blinded Polyphemus, but did not kill him.
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.
No he does not kill the cyclops (Polyphemus) he merely blinds him in his only eye
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
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.
Odysseus and his men do not kill the cyclops because they are trapped in the cave with only one way out, which is blocked by a massive rock that only the cyclops can move. If they kill him, they would remain stuck in the cave with no way to escape. Additionally, they fear retribution from the other cyclopes if they were to harm Polyphemus.
Blinding the cyclops instead of killing it allows Odysseus and his men to escape undetected, as they can only be released from the cave by the cyclops. If they had killed the cyclops, they would have been trapped in the cave with no way out. Blinding the cyclops is a strategic move to ensure their own safety and freedom.

Odysseus blind the Cyclops. The way he does this, is that he had seen some large logs burning in the cave. So, Odysseus and his crew had managed to lift up one of the logs and shove the burning end of the log into the eye of the Cyclops, which does NOT kill him, but does blind him.
