Explanation:

In the excerpt from The Odyssey, a friend of Odysseus the main character advises him to take what they need from the cave and then just leave, this can be seen in the section "Why not take these cheeses, get them stowed, come back, throw open all the pens, and make a run for it?." However, Odysseus decides not to follow this advice due to his curiosity to see the caveman "Yet I refused. I wished to see the caveman", and this decision has terrible consequences Odysseus recognized "no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends"; indeed due to this decision many died.
