Answer:
He does not handle the strangers coming into his cave well, and feels like they should not have been there to begin with. He is warned to treat them well, and bare them gifts as well as to not kill them. Of course, he does not take this advice because he is a cyclopes and follows his own rules, and takes up to no gods.
Step-by-step explanation:
Odysseus and his men came unto the island of the cyclops after the Trojan war. They came in search of food and soon found the youngest cyclops ( Polyphemos the son of Poseidon the god of the sea ) cave. Odysseus' men want to steal the food, and go but Odysseus' curiosity got the best of him, and he decides to stay and wait for the owner to come not expecting a giant cyclops. Once Polyphemus the owner and youngest cyclops came, he was unhappy that they were there. Odysseus then tried to explain to him that they were guests and he should treat them well, and welcome them into his home. Polyphemus felt disrespected by this, because he felt that he did not have to follow these rules by the gods and do as he pleases. He then begins to eat the men in return for their suggestion, and is warned by Odysseus that he should not be eating the men, and then comes up with a plan to trick Polyphemos realizing that he will soon attempt to eat them all.
