My heart beat high now at the chance of action,

and drawing the sharp sword from my hip I went

along his flank to stab him where the midriff

holds the liver. I had touched the spot

when sudden fear stayed me: if I killed him

we perished there as well, for we could never

move his ponderous doorway slab aside.

So we were left to groan and wait for morning.

What prevents Odysseus from killing the sleeping Cyclops?

He wants to make the Cyclops his ally and friend.

He knows that they cannot move the boulder blocking the doorway.

He feels sorry for the Cyclops who lives all by himself.
