it is not initialy good as his men do not wish to stay in the cave yet Odysseus ignores them and decides to stay to meet the owner of the cave.

but once the cyclops arives back at the cave Odysseus uses wit to make a plan of how he can escape. he plans to tell the cyclops his name is nobody so when he cries for help nobody will reply thinking the cyclops is crazy.

when this is done Odysseus gets the cyclops drunk on his wine which he received as a present which was meant to be diluted 1part wine to 20parts water. this gets the cyclops drunk and they then stab his eye out. when this is done they tie themselves under the sheep.

overall Odysseus shows qualities of both a good and bad leader in this book in showing how he doesnt listen to his men yet he is able to think forward and get out of situations without just using pure power.
