Odysseus must have thought about killing Polyphemus but rejected the idea for at least one reason. The main reason would have been that it was nearly impossible to murder the giant because they had no adequate means of doing it. If they had tried to stab Polyphemus with a sharpened stake, they might have only wounded him.

Hey there!

Odysseus does not stab Polyphemus, the Cyclops, because if he does, he will be trapped in the cave along with some of his men. A boulder is blocking the cave exit, and the Cyclops is the only thing strong enough to move it.

I hope this helps!

Read the passage from “The Caged Bird.” The free bird thinks of another breeze and the trade winds soft through the sighing tree
Assoli18 [71]
I'd say peacefulness and relaxation. There's no given reason for the trees to be sad or longing, and trees don't obviously exhale or breathe.
