Odysseus in Hades

This way!
Odysseus and his men dragged their ship to the shore of Oceanus, and walked to the place Circe described, Hades.
The men sacrificed the sheep and prayed with promises to the families of the dead.
Teiresias from Thebes appeared and told Odysseus how death takes him.
Thank you, I do not doubt the gods.
Your death will come like a gentle passing from ripe old age. Your people will be prospering around you.
Then, Odysseus had caught sight of the ghost of his dead mother and he wept and was afraid someone had killed his mother or she was taken by a lengthy illness.
What form of death took you away? Also, how is my wife? Has she married the finest Achaean?
The cause of my death was old age, I was not harmed or in pain, son. And your wife has stayed loyal but is full of sorrow.
Odysseus' mother left. No long after, Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, sent the grieving shades of many people Odysseus knew, such as his old companions Agamemnon, Achilles, and Patroclus.
Fear gripped Odysseus-Persephone might send the Gorgons head to him! Odysseus and his crew quickly ran back to the ships and sailed away before they met the three terrifying sisters.
