Odysseus is driven by curiosity toward the Cyclopes of the island. His crewmen wish to take the Cyclops's (Polyphemus) cheeses and sheep, however, and head back to the ship to resume their journey.
Odysseus wanted to stay and meet the giant. His men wanted to take his animals and food and sail away. Did you not read that in book nine?

Polyphemus (the cyclops) ate four men total, 2 the first and 2 the second.
At first, Polyphemus sees Odysseus and his men as harmless delicacies. However, after he is blinded, he is enraged at Odysseus and his men, enough to curse them in the name of his father.
Odysseus' plan was a clever strategy in attempt to escape from Polyphemus's cave. This strategy was well thought-out, efficient, and succeeded. First, he would get the cyclops drunk, then he would blind it with a stake, then he would hide his men under the cyclops' sheep when they went out to graze.

the cyclops was intimidating to odysseus at first. Yet, the cyclops was kind until Odysseus took advantage of him and blinded him....to get to the point.. the cyclops was an idiot and was kind and welcoming to Odysseus who told him his name was nobody so when asked who blinded him, the cyclops replied nobody
Odysseus describes the Cyclops' cave as vast, with a high ceiling and filled with milk pails and cheese. He mentions that the cave is well-stocked with supplies, showing the Cyclops' wealth.
Polyphemus, the Cyclops.

The first lie that Odysseus tells the Cyclops is that his name is "Nobody." This deception plays a crucial role later when Odysseus blinds the Cyclops and tells him that "Nobody" is hurting him, fooling the other Cyclopes into thinking that nothing is wrong.
