16. what does the cyclops do instead of showing hospitality to odysseus and his men?

Odysseus is fascinated by the land of the Cyclopes and observes them from a nearby island until he feels compelled to investigate personally. He is aware that the monster may be inhospitable and not receive him willingly; he may have no respect for "right nor law." On the island, the "huge monster" is away tending his flocks, giving Odysseus time to look around. His men encourage him to take from the vast stocks but still Odysseus wants to test the boundaries and, despite all the visible warning signs and his men's pleas, Odysseus waits to see if the Cyclops will give him "a present," as would be customary in Odysseus's world. It will soon become apparent to Odysseus that it was a mistake to expect such a hideous being to uphold the principles of decency and the "wretch" laughs at Odysseus's reminder of the rules of hospitality. Odysseus will have to use all his cunning to escape
