to get the golden fleece
The Cyclops, Polyphemus, is inside the cave when Odysseus and his men enter.
Why? Because the Cyclopes was going to eat them. :)
To get his men out of the cave safe.
Odysseus encountered the Cyclopes on the island of Sicily, specifically in a cave belonging to Polyphemus, the most famous of the Cyclopes. During his journey home from the Trojan War, Odysseus and his men stumbled upon the island and were trapped in Polyphemus's cave, leading to a perilous encounter. To escape, Odysseus devised a clever plan to blind the Cyclops, allowing them to flee under the cover of sheep.
Odysseus' reaction is to enter the cave to see if anyone is home.

If you mean past the cyclopes; he blinds it then he and his remaining men, (the cyclopes ate some) clutch onto the bellies of sheep, and leave the cave in that most graceful fashion.
The cave that Odysseus and his men found when they landed on the Island of the Cyclopes belongs to Polyphemus. Odysseus decided to stay in the cave until its owner returned. When Polyphemus returned and saw the intruders, he ate Odysseus' men.
Odysseus blinded Polyphemus so that him and his men could escape.
Odysseus took twelve men into Polythemus' cave besides himself.
When Odysseus and his men arrived at Polyphemus's cave after the cyclops had been attacked, Odysseus used cunning to introduce himself as "Nobody." When Polyphemus was later blinded and called for help, he told the other cyclopes that "Nobody" was hurting him, which led them to believe he was not in danger. This clever deception allowed Odysseus and his men to escape from Polyphemus's cave.
In the Cyclopes excerpt from The Odyssey, Odysseus and his men are trapped in the cave of Polyphemus, a Cyclops. Polyphemus eats some of Odysseus's men and then blocks the entrance of the cave with a huge boulder to prevent their escape. Odysseus then comes up with a plan to blind Polyphemus and escape the cave.
