Why doesnt Odysseus tell his men about the monsters?

Odysseus chooses not to tell his men about the monsters, such as Scylla and Charybdis, to prevent panic and maintain their morale. He understands that revealing the full danger could lead to fear and indecision, which might compromise their safety and resolve. By keeping the information to himself, he aims to maintain control over the situation and ensure they face the challenges ahead with courage. Ultimately, his leadership is focused on guiding them through perilous waters without succumbing to despair.


Why doesnt Odysseus stab polymephus the first night why the cyclops was sleeping?

Odysseus refrains from stabbing Polyphemus the first night because he realizes that the giant's massive size and strength would make it impossible for him and his men to move the boulder blocking the cave's entrance once Polyphemus is dead. Instead, he devises a clever plan to blind the Cyclops while ensuring their escape. By waiting, Odysseus prioritizes their survival over immediate revenge, demonstrating his strategic thinking.
