Read the excerpt from the odyssey.

'we are from troy, achaeans, blown off course
by shifting gales on the great south sea;
homeward bound, but taking routes and ways
uncommon; so the will of zeus would have it.
we served under agamemnon, son of atreus—
the whole world knows what city
he laid waste, what armies he destroyed.
it was our luck to come here; here we stand,
beholden for your , or any gifts
you give—as custom is to honor strangers.
we would entreat you, great sir, have a care
for the gods' courtesy; zeus will avenge
the unoffending guest.'

he answered this
from his brute chest, unmoved:

'you are a ninny,
or else you come from the other end of nowhere,
telling me, mind the gods! we cyclopes
care not a whistle for your thundering zeus
or all the gods in bliss; we have more force by far.
i would not let you go for fear of zeus—
you or your friends—unless i had a whim to.

what can be inferred about the cyclops?

he lives in fear of zeus and all the rest of the greek gods.
he sided and fought with the trojans during the war.
he is eager to provide food and shelter to his guests.
he does not live by the same rules and customs as the greeks.
