Why does odysseus wish to explore the cave of the cyclops?

Odysseus ventures into Polyphemus' cave because his ship has stopped at the island, and he is looking for food, and hoping to find hospitality from the inhabitants (i.e.. food, shelter, a place to sleep, gifts, directions…) But what he finds in the cave is certainly not what he expected.

This is what i found “an elliptical clause is a type of dependent, or subordinate, clause that is missing a word or words. often, the missing part is a verb or verb phrase. while elliptical clauses are acceptable to use, they can sometimes cause confusion for writers and readers, especially when the sentence ends with a pronoun.” i hope this you for what your looking for. can you plz mark me brainliest?
