The other cyclops won't come to Polyphemus's rescue because they are typically independent and live in isolation. They do not have a strong sense of community or cooperation with other cyclops. Additionally, Polyphemus was blinded by Odysseus and his men, so there is no bond of familial loyalty or obligation that would compel other cyclops to help him.
Polyphemus says to his fellow Cyclops that he has been blinded by "Nobody" when he is attacked by Odysseus in Homer's "The Odyssey." He then calls for help from the other Cyclops, but when they hear him say that "Nobody" has hurt him, they assume he is fine and do not come to his aid.
Odysseus uses his cunning and intelligence to come up with a plan to blind the cyclops and trick him into letting him and his men escape. This resourcefulness allows Odysseus to outsmart the cyclops and successfully navigate through a dangerous situation.
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.
The main conflict that occurs when Odysseus tries to outwit the cyclops is between his cleverness and the cyclops' brute strength and lack of mercy. Odysseus relies on his wits and cunning to come up with a plan to escape, while the cyclops relies on his physical power to try and capture and devour Odysseus and his men. This conflict highlights the contrast between intelligence and brute force as strategic tools for survival.
Odysseus does not kill the Cyclops because he needs his help to escape from the cave where they are trapped. By keeping the Cyclops alive, Odysseus is able to come up with a clever plan to blind him and then escape with his men. Killing the Cyclops outright would have made their escape more challenging.
The other Cyclops ignore Polyphemus' cries for help, thinking that he is just playing a trick. They do not come to his aid, assuming that he is fine.
It enables Odysseus and his men to escape the Cyclops's cave and it confuses the other Cyclopses so they don't come to the aid of their friend.
