Answer:

Odysseus's curiosity about the Cyclops is stronger than his good judgment.

Odysseus wants to see if the Cyclops has anything to give to him and his men.

Explanation:

The text above shows the moment when Odysseus decided to visit the home of the Cyclops. He knows that this can be dangerous and that he can put himself in danger and put the lives of his men in danger (which in fact happened), however he is so curious about the creature that curiosity has become stronger than what his common sense and for this reason he leads his men on an excursion into the Cyclops' lair.

Furthermore, Odysseus believes that if all goes well, the Cyclops may have something of value to help him and his men.
