Odysseus takes 12 of his best men to explore the land of the cyclops including Polyphemus' cave.
Odysseus took his 12 best men and a goatskin of sweet black wine from the priest Maron to the cyclops cave.
I do not know that the cyclops did anything as revenge, but in the book the Odyssey ,it explains that the Cyclops' father , the god Poseidon, is angry at Odysseus and will not let Odysseus return to his country, whereas the other gods take pity on him.
to see what he and his crewmens can take from the cave but it backfires on them because the cyclops comes and is hostile towards them.
Fighting in the Trojan war, blinding the cyclops, you get the picture? take your pick
To prepare for their escape from the Cyclops' cave, Odysseus devises a clever plan by first getting the Cyclops, Polyphemus, drunk on wine to incapacitate him. He then tells Polyphemus that his name is "Nobody," so when he blinds the Cyclops, Polyphemus cannot call for help. Next, Odysseus and his men hide under the sheep to sneak out of the cave when Polyphemus lets them out to graze. Finally, once they are safely at sea, Odysseus reveals his true identity, provoking the Cyclops's wrath.

Odysseus expresses a range of emotions when he visits the land of the dead in the Greek epic "The Odyssey." He is filled with sorrow, fear, and compassion as he encounters the spirits of the deceased, including his mother and former comrades. Odysseus is also determined and resolute in his quest for knowledge and guidance from the underworld.

Because he is dumb. <~ are you serious right now... its because Odysseus wanted to see what the Cyclops had to offer
The Cyclops had no kids. The men escaped by holding to the undersides of the cyclops sheep. Their hands could not hold any of the cheeses while they were escaping.

Odysseus is driven by curiosity toward the Cyclopes of the island. His crewmen wish to take the Cyclops's (Polyphemus) cheeses and sheep, however, and head back to the ship to resume their journey.
