Odysseus is driven by curiosity toward the Cyclopes of the island. His crewmen wish to take the Cyclops's (Polyphemus) cheeses and sheep, however, and head back to the ship to resume their journey.
Odysseus wanted to stay and meet the giant. His men wanted to take his animals and food and sail away. Did you not read that in book nine?
When Odysseus first speaks to the Cyclops, he warns him about the power of the gods, particularly Poseidon, who is known for punishing those who disrespect the divine. Odysseus introduces himself as "Nobody," suggesting that if the Cyclops harms him, he will not be able to seek help, as no one will come to his aid. This clever tactic is part of Odysseus's strategy to outsmart the Cyclops and ultimately escape from his captivity.

Odysseus and his men were trapped in the cave of the Cyclops Polyphemus for a total of two days. On the first day, Polyphemus captured them and ate some of Odysseus's men. On the second day, Odysseus devised a clever plan to escape by blinding the Cyclops, allowing him and his remaining men to flee.
Odysseus uses a sharpened stake, referred to as a "staff" or "pole," to blind the Cyclops Polyphemus. He first gets the Cyclops drunk on wine and then drives the stake into Polyphemus's single eye while he sleeps, rendering him blind. This clever tactic allows Odysseus and his men to escape from the Cyclops' cave afterward.

The Cyclops Polyphemus starts a conversation with Odysseus and his men, asking who they are, where they are from, and what they are doing in his cave.

the cyclops was intimidating to odysseus at first. Yet, the cyclops was kind until Odysseus took advantage of him and blinded him....to get to the point.. the cyclops was an idiot and was kind and welcoming to Odysseus who told him his name was nobody so when asked who blinded him, the cyclops replied nobody
The Cyclops was herding his sheep and cattle when Odysseus first enter the cave.
The first lie that Odysseus tells the Cyclops is that his name is "Nobody." This deception plays a crucial role later when Odysseus blinds the Cyclops and tells him that "Nobody" is hurting him, fooling the other Cyclopes into thinking that nothing is wrong.
