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.
He wants to plan an attack on the suitors. He didn't know who was on his side.

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.
