In The Cyclops, when he and his men are trapped in Polyphemus's cave, Odysseus stabs him in the eye to blind him. Once he is blinded he ties his men and himself to the Cyclops animals and when the Cyclops lets the animals outside they escape.

Odysseus and his men find the Cyclops Polyphemus in a cave. The Cyclops traps them inside and proceeds to eat some of the men before Odysseus devises a plan to blind Polyphemus and escape.
The cyclops (Polyphemus) has Odysseus and his men trapped in a cave. There is a large stone covering the entrance to the cave that is too big for Odysseus and his men to move. If he kills the cyclops, they will not be able to get out of the cave.
yes
He and his men stabbed the cyclops in the eye and crawled out covered in sheep hydes so the cyclops would think they were just his livestock and not kill them.
Odysseus refrains from killing the Cyclops while he is asleep because the Cyclops is the only one who can move the large stone blocking the cave's entrance. If Odysseus were to kill the Cyclops while he slept, he and his men would be trapped in the cave with no way to escape. By keeping the Cyclops alive, Odysseus increases their chances of making a successful escape.
Odysseus chose not to kill the cyclops after it ate two of his men because he realized that the cyclops was the only one who could move the massive boulder blocking the cave's entrance, enabling his escape with his remaining men. By blinding the cyclops instead of killing him, Odysseus was able to achieve his goal of escaping the cave.
