He had to go in there by himself. Odysseus found out that he was going to be the only one alive and get back home to Ithaca.When he got back to the boat he didn't told his men that he was going to be the only one alive.

The third value that we see in The Odyssey is hope.Odysseus was trying to get home by thinking that soon he will see his family.
