The details the author of the Odyssey chose to omit were :

  • The author did not go into detail about the cyclops because he is harmed, which would add a sad tone if the cyclops is liked.
  • Details of Odysseus' men were not added because their loss would be much more devastating.
  • No details of the sheep were included because it would take away the excitement and sense of adventure.
