Apollo's story
Apollo was the Greek god of the sun, music, art, medicine, oracles, and more. He was born on the island of Delos to Zeus and Leto along with his twin sister Artemis. The Romans adopted Apollo as their sun god, keeping his Greek name and stories. Apollo is often depicted as a handsome young man with golden hair, carrying a lyre and bow. Though he had many lovers, he never married.
Apollo and daphne
The passage summarizes the Greek myth of Apollo and Daphne. It describes how Apollo mocked Eros and his abilities, angering Aphrodite. In retaliation, Eros made Apollo fall in love with the first person he saw, Daphne. Apollo pursued Daphne but she did not want to fall in love due to losing her freedom. As Apollo was about to catch her, Daphne called out to her father and was transformed into a laurel tree to escape Apollo. The moral of the story is to not hurt others or their feelings.

Odysseus
Aeolus is the Greek god of winds who lived on a floating island called Aeolia. He had six sons and six daughters from his marriage to Amphithea. Aeolus played an important role in Homer's Odyssey by giving Odysseus a bag of winds to carry his ships home, but Odysseus' men opened the bag against Aeolus' instructions and faced opposing winds. The document also briefly summarizes the Trojan War and introduces the characters of Alcinous, king of the Phaeacians, and the Lotus Eaters, a tribe enticed by the lotus fruit to forget their homelands.
Aeolus By Elizabeth Brown
Aeolus was the Greek god of winds who lived on the floating island of Aeolia. He had six sons and six daughters with his wife Amphithea. Aeolus played an important role in The Odyssey by giving Odysseus a bag of winds to carry his ships home to Ithaca, but Odysseus' men thought he was hiding gold and unleashed the winds in the wrong direction.
Antinous
Antinous was one of Penelope's suitors who was disliked for being mean and responsible for the suitors moving into Odysseus' house. He even attempted to kill Odysseus' son Telemachus but failed. Antinous showed a complete disregard for hospitality rules by turning away a disguised Odysseus, who was in his own house, and this offense led to Odysseus killing Antinous with an arrow, making him the first suitor slain.
Robert Tiresias
Tiresias was a blind prophet from Thebes who lived in the Underworld. According to the passage, Odysseus was told by the goddess Kirke to seek out Tiresias for guidance. Tiresias warned Odysseus that he would encounter Helios's cattle on the island of Thrinacia and told him to avoid the herd or his crew would die. Tiresias also foretold that upon returning to Ithaca, Odysseus would find suitors courting his wife and eating his food, and that he would either kill the suitors or send them away.
