In book
    9, Odysseus and his men sail to the mainland of the Cyclopes, where they discover a massive cave
    with exquisite cheeses, milk bowls, and young lambs inside. Odysseus realizes that the Cyclops
    has left his dwelling unattended, and his men petition him to quickly steal the cheese and come
    back for the lambs later. Odysseus's men are anxious to avoid the Cyclops and fear that the
    monster will be uncivilized and dangerous. Unfortunately, Odysseus does not follow their
    suggestions and decides to remain in the cave. Odysseus wants to wait for the Cyclops to return
    in hopes of receiving a valuable gift from him. Odysseus is under the impression that the
    Cyclops will respect him as a guest and reward him with a gift, which is the typical procedure
    when a stranger arrives to a new land from abroad. However, the Cyclops returns and proceeds to
    trap the men inside his cave by rolling a massive boulder over the entrance. Polyphemus then
    scorns the gods and proceeds to eat two of Odysseus's men.
