He wants to plan an attack on the suitors. He didn't know who was on his side.
Although the reasons are not explicitly given, by appearing as a traveler, uninvested in the troubles, Eumaeus is more likely to be honest with Odysseus. Odysseus wishes to test Eumaeus' loyalty as Odysseus does not know if Eumaeus is loyal until much later. Odysseus wishes to keep his secret, and telling one person will make his plans less likely to succeed. Further, there is no real benefit to telling Eumaeus when he first meets him.

When Odysseus recognized his old dog, Argos, he tried to conceal his emotions from Eumaeus, the swineherd. Despite the overwhelming sadness he felt at seeing his loyal dog in such poor condition, he didn't want to reveal his identity or show weakness. This moment highlighted Odysseus's struggles and the loyalty of Argos, who died contentedly after recognizing his master. Ultimately, it underscored the themes of loyalty and the passage of time in the story.
When Odysseus returned home to Ithaca, the goddess Athena helped him hide his identity. She disguised him as a beggar to protect him from the suitors vying for his wife, Penelope. Athena's guidance was crucial in allowing Odysseus to formulate a plan to reclaim his home and family without revealing himself too soon.

You can hide your identity by not adding anything on your profile.
From the movie ?
he didn't want to be seen so he could see the kingdom and all the enemies in it (my personal opinion is that he was embarrassed and wanted his son to see him as that hero not as a beggar)
Odysseus and his men escape Polyphemus' cave by cleverly deceiving the Cyclops. After blinding him with a sharpened wooden stake while he is drunk, they hide underneath the sheep as Polyphemus lets them out to graze. As they make their escape, Odysseus reveals his true identity to the blinded giant, provoking Polyphemus to curse him, which leads to further troubles for Odysseus on his journey home.
Odysseus claimed that he and his men had been shipwrecked. He said this to hide the location of his ship from Polyphemus.
hard question!
Odysseus hides under Polyphemus' largest ram as it exits the cave.
