Why doesn't Odysseus kill Polyphemus when he has the chance? He knows the men aren't strong enough to open the door. He doesn't want to incur Poseidon's wrath. He is afraid he will fail and be eaten next.

He didn't want to anger Poseidon. Poseidon is the god of the seas and Polyphemus' father, and if he killed Polyphemus, he would anger Poseidon and his journey through the sea would be perilous.
