- ‘O Zeus, and all you deathless gods! You blinded my mind with that infernal sleep. My men did dreadful things while I was gone.’
- Odysseus desired to learn his destiny and in order to do so, he performed the rites he needed to bring Teiresias up from the dead. Teiresias said'' ‘Odysseus, you think of going home as honey-sweet, but gods will make it bitter. I think Poseidon will not cease to feel incensed because you blinded his dear son. You have to suffer, but you can get home, if you control your urges and your men. Turn from the purple depths and sail your ship towards the island of Thrinacia; there you will find grazing cows and fine fat sheep, belonging to the god who sees and hears all things--the Sun God. If you leave them be, keeping your mind fixed on your journey home, you may still get to Ithaca, despite great losses. But if you hurt those cows, I see disaster for your ship and for your men. And so they went on.
- After visiting Tiresias, they return to Circe's island where she warns Odysseus of the dancers he and his men will face. “‘So listen, I will give you good instructions; ..." And so Odysseus takes in mid all she says and tells them exactly what Circe told him, except that he will be the sole survivor. And so they set off.
- They had followed the rules and listened to Odysseus, they had one task left in order to return home. Up until Odysseus left them so that he could wash his hands, find shelter out of the wind so that he could pray. But Odysseus fells asleep when the gods poured sweet sleep upon his eyes. That's when Eurylochus made a huge mistake. He said he'd rather die in the hands of the gods than die of starvation, and the rest agreed. They hunted the cows of Helios, the great Sun God who sees and hears all things. And so Zeus punished Odysseus' men. He hit their boat with a thunderbolt which destroyed their boat and all the men down. Only Odysseus survived. Now he heads back home to Ithaca on his own.
