The Lotus-eaters, a race of men who do no harm except offer up an almost hypnotizing plant called the lotus, entrance two of Odysseus's men. Odysseus is forced to take his brainwashed men and leave the island, in fear of the rest of them being lost to the plant's mind-altering state.]]> 2016-03-11 04:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/19akovacs/zqun8wyys07b/wish/100391813 19akovacs https://padlet.com/19akovacs/zqun8wyys07b/wish/100392806 2016-03-11 05:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/19akovacs/zqun8wyys07b/wish/100392806 19akovacs https://padlet.com/19akovacs/zqun8wyys07b/wish/100392807 Odysseus arrives on the island of Cyclops, where he and his men happen upon the cave of Polyphemus, a cyclops that lives there. Polyphemus is angered at the fact that they ate his food and whatnot, as he does not abide by the customs. After successfully tricking and blinding Polyphemus, the men escape his wrath, but not without receiving a curse from the one-eyed beast's father, Poseidon.]]> 2016-03-11 05:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/19akovacs/zqun8wyys07b/wish/100392807 19akovacs https://padlet.com/19akovacs/zqun8wyys07b/wish/100393269 The men, having escaped the cyclops, arrive on the land of Aeolus--master/keeper of the winds--where they are greeted warmly, and hosted for a month. Odysseus receives a bag of all the winds that could blow their ship off course from Aeolus, and set off again, only to have their plans ruined when Odysseus falls asleep right before they arrive on Ithica. The men, expecting treasure, open the bag, and release all the malevolent winds, blowing them far off course once again.]]> 2016-03-11 05:27:50 UTC https://padlet.com/19akovacs/zqun8wyys07b/wish/100393269 19akovacs https://padlet.com/19akovacs/zqun8wyys07b/wish/100393744 Odysseus lands on the island of Aeaea, home to the dangerous but beautiful goddess Circe.

In order to overcome the sirens, they must be unable to hear the enchanting song. Odysseus chooses just to be tied down during the voyage so he can hear the song.  Thereafter, Odysseus must choose if he would rather face Charybdis or Scylla, the monsters of the sea. The first is a six-headed monster lurking in an overhanging, fog-concealed cavern that will devour one man for each head. The second is Charybdis, a monster whirlpool that swallows everything near it three times a day. He chooses Scylla, and pushes through the monster's attack without stopping for a fight, realizing that delay would only cost him more men. He loses six of his men, but realizes that he has saved more lives despite the heart-wrenching feeling of guilt.]]> 2016-03-11 05:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/19akovacs/zqun8wyys07b/wish/100393893 19akovacs https://padlet.com/19akovacs/zqun8wyys07b/wish/100394257 The men now arrive on the island of Thrinacia, land of the sun god, Helios.
