Circe, and trip to the Underworld

BOOK 11

They put to sea and sail towards the river Oceanus and get to spot Circe told them to go. They do the deed and sacrifice the sheep as she instructed, and the ghosts begin to appear. First there is Elpenor whose body was still at Circe’s house, then came Teiresias, and told what Odyessues was to expect on the way home. Namely that he would be the only one to survive and would find trouble at home in form of the suitors. After Teiresias left then came a long line of wives, daughters of heroes and heroes themselves, including Achilles, Agamemnon, and Ajax. Odysseus was panic stricken and he and his men left for Circe’s island.
