In the encounter with the Laestrygonians, Odysseus employs caution and strategic thinking. He sends out a scouting party to gather information about the land and its inhabitants before moving forward. When the Laestrygonians attack, Odysseus quickly realizes the danger and orders his ships to retreat, allowing only his own vessel to escape the destruction wrought by the giant cannibals. His awareness and prompt decision-making help him save himself and a few crew members from the disastrous attack.
Odysseus sends some of his men to explore the island and they run into to not-so-humble Laestrygonians who are cannibals and eat his exploring men.Out of the twelve boats with which Odysseus arrives on the island, eleven are destroyed and the Greeks on them either drown or are consumed.Cannibals attack and destroy many of his men and reduce his number of ships to just one
