Cyclops in Greek mythology fears nobody, as his power lies in his single eye and strength. However, some interpretations suggest that he might have feared the hero Odysseus, who outsmarted him in Homer's "Odyssey."
One quotation from The Odyssey that illustrates the fact that the Cyclops shows no fear of Zeus is when he says, “We Cyclopes care not a jot for Zeus or all the gods; we have more force by far." This demonstrates the Cyclops' arrogance and lack of fear towards the gods.
Cyclops proves he has no fear of Odysseus by taunting him and boasting about his strength and power, even after Odysseus blinds him and narrowly escapes. Despite the danger Odysseus presents, Cyclops remains defiant and unafraid, showing his arrogance and lack of respect for the hero.
Polyphemus is unable to get help from the other cyclops because he is isolated from them on his own island. Additionally, the other cyclops may fear or envy his strength and power, making them unwilling to assist him.
A conflict of wills emerges between Odysseus and his men when they try to convince him to stop taunting the cyclops. The men fear the consequences of angering the cyclops, showcasing a conflict of priorities and approaches to survival.

they are fictional so they don't scare me. but according to legend, the Cyclops was a giant, who traded an eye for knowledge of the future, after making the deal with the gods, the gods only gave them knowledge of their own death. So a cyclops warrior was never afraid and a fierce warrior because they didnt fear death.
To be correct what did Odyessus do to the cyclops. He poked the cyclops in the eye.
The cyclops that Odysseus encountered was Polyphemus; in Greek Mythology there were many cyclops.
A cyclops has one eye.
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.
