(Great book, absolutely enjoyed it) Remember that in Greek customs, it was expected that if a famous hero entered your home you would praise him with a gift as a sign of respect and hopitality. Odysseus, a man of extreme fame and honor was expecting Polyphemus (cyclops) to shower him with gifts when he returns to the cave. Therefore Odysseus lingered, waiting for the cyclops to come and give him presents. (the gift is interesting to say the least...)
