His men travel to the land of the LOTUS-EATERS; the place of forgetfulness. The continue to the island of the CYCLOPES where Odysseus blinds the one names POLYPHEMUS. POSIEDON, Polyphemus’ father, wants Odysseus to suffer because he blinded his son. Aeolius gives Odysseus a bag of WINDS but it does not get them very far because his men OPEN IT. CIRCE turns Odysseus’ men into pigs, so Hermes offers Odysseus HERBS to protect him from her magic. They travel to the LAND OF THE DEAD (HADES) where Odysseus talks to Teiresias. They are warned about THE SIRENS (women who lure men to their deaths) and they continue to SCYLLA (6 headed sea monster) and CHARYBDIS (whirlpool) where they lose 6 men before traveling to The Island of the Cattle of The SUN GOD. On this island, Odysseus’ men disobey and kill the cattle for food. Zeus helps Helios seek vengeance by sending a lighting bolt that SINKS the ship. Odysseus lives and lands on the island of CALYPSO where he stays for 7 YEARS, until she is ordered by Athena to let him go. Odysseus returns home, and with the help of his son, TELEMACHUS, he is able to defeat the suitors and reunite with his wife PENELOPE.
