What motivates odysseus to tell a lie to the cyclops?

odysseus knows that poseidon is the cyclops’ father.
odysseus is afraid the cyclops will steal their ship.
odysseus does not want to reveal their only means of escape.
odysseus does not know what has happened to his ship.

Odysseus does not want to reveal their only means of escape.

Explanation:

In the story Odysseus lies several times to the Cyclops, he lies about his name, he lies about what had happened, but in this case the question is why does he lie about what happened to his ship, so he lies about that because he didn´t want the cyclops that they had a way out of the island, so he couldn´t destroy their only means of escape.

hmm, sadly there is no dialogue. there is no place in the story where he is talking to anyone. it's more of just describing what he eats and where he sleeps. you have to become anne frank, give details of where you are, what other folks look like, how the environment is. have a little bit of dialogue tell of what people are specifically saying. anne frank talked about her entire household including the people, the objects, the lighting, the food they ate, and even the smell in the air. there has to be more to your diary entries, the whole story in its current state is only about peter van daan, the food, the sounds, and where he sleeps. also he seems to be writing only once a year yet more than that happened from day to day. for a friend, i can you write it out, if you want.
