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.
