Cyclops live alone in caves primarily due to their nature as solitary creatures, often depicted in mythology as having a brutish demeanor and a preference for isolation. Living in caves provides them with shelter and protection while allowing them to maintain their independence from others. Their isolation also reflects their character traits, such as being unfriendly and distrustful of outsiders, which reinforces their role as antagonists in stories like Homer's "Odyssey."
