When Odysseus required guidance on his voyage to Ithaca, he meets Teiresias in the Land of the Dead. The specific advice that Teiresias provided was to leave the sacred cows of Helios alone. However, Odysseus ignored the advice and his crew ate the sacred cows, causing Zeus to smite his crew, leaving Odysseus by himself.

Teiresias, was a famous prophet of Apollo who had once wronged Athena, the goddess of wisdom. While Athena was bathing, Teiresias stumbled upon her nude body and as a result, was blinded by her. Teiresias's mother begged Athena for forgiveness and asked her to reverse the punshment. Athena, however, was unable reverse the punishment so instead, allowed Teiresias to understand birdsong. He also received prophetic visions from the gods which he used to keep 7 generations of Theban Kings in check.
