Odysseus initially refrains from fighting the Cyclops, Polyphemus, because he wants to devise a clever plan rather than engage in a direct confrontation that could lead to immediate danger for his men. He understands that the Cyclops is much stronger than them and that a head-on attack would likely result in their demise. Instead, he focuses on outsmarting Polyphemus by getting him drunk and blinding him to facilitate their escape. This strategic thinking reflects Odysseus's preference for cunning over brute strength.
