Read the excerpt from part 2 of the odyssey.
a prodigious man
slept in this cave alone, and took his flocks
to graze afield—remote from all companions,
knowing none but savage ways, a brute
so huge, [the cyclops] seemed no man at all of those
who eat good wheaten bread; but he seemed rather
a shaggy mountain reared in solitude.

The Cyclopes are giant and huge creatures who were blessed by the Gods for food for their living. They don't want any visitors to come to their place. When Cyclops noticed that Odysseus and his men had arrived at his land, he captured them in his cave and treated them in the most inhospitable manner. He wanted to kill each of them but Odysseus tricked him and saved himself and his men from his captivity. The metaphor in the passage tells about the way the Cyclopes eat and the visual representation of their huge size.
