Its a drive in and movie story
Many people have been killed their and crossing the path is a reminder of that.
Well, Odysseus was going to kill him, until he realized that the giant, named Polyphemus I believe, was the only thing in the cave strong enough to move the boulder blocking them from getting out.
Hope this helps!
