Step-by-step explanation:

According to the epic poem of Ancient Greece - Odyssey, composed by Homer, Ulysses (Odysseus in Greek), upon returning from the war against Troia, where he was a cunning warrior and one responsible for the victory against the Trojans (his idea was the horse of wood with hidden warriors), went through several adventures until reaching his land Ithaca, to meet his wife Penelope, 27 years after his departure.

In one of his adventures, Odysseus learns of the existence of a Cyclops, he ends up going to the Cyclops' home, because he was curious about what the Cyclops was like and why he hoped to gain something from the Cyclops. The result of this was that Odysseus and his men were arrested by the Cyclops, in addition, the Cyclops killed Odysseus's crew and he had to watch the massacre of his men.
