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!

How does Joyce develop this theme of paralysis in “Eveline”?
Stella [2.4K]
"I take the theme of 'Eveline' to be one of Joyce's key preoccupations, the idea of paralysis, our inability to break out of situations that have become home for us, even when those situations are unpleasant or worse. Most of the story is taken up with Eveline's reflections and her attempts to balance her decision"
