In the cyclops cave
The cyclops Polyphemus from The Odyssey appears in book nine. Odysseus and his men land the island of the Cyclopes and finds a cave filled with food and other provisions. Polyphemus returns and finds Odysseus and his men in the cave and ultimately kills six men. When Polyphemus falls asleep, Odysseus drives a stake into his eye and escapes.
Odysseus and 6 of his 12 men escape from the cyclops Polyphemus' cave.
2 versions: Either, 1.) He did not think the Cyclops would try to eat him, and instead actually help him 2.) He did not know the cave belonged to a cyclops
Odysseus was curious about the type of men the Cyclops were.

Odysseus describes the Cyclops' cave as vast, with a high ceiling and filled with milk pails and cheese. He mentions that the cave is well-stocked with supplies, showing the Cyclops' wealth.
Blinding the cyclops instead of killing it allows Odysseus and his men to escape undetected, as they can only be released from the cave by the cyclops. If they had killed the cyclops, they would have been trapped in the cave with no way out. Blinding the cyclops is a strategic move to ensure their own safety and freedom.
