7. Reading Cracker:
1. Odysseus sets sail on a makeshift raft in sight of land when
Poseidon catches sight of him, unleashing a storm that again
wrecks the homesick Greek.
2. He and his crew first encountered the Lotus-Eaters, who eat the
narcotic lotus flower and live in stupefied bliss. A few men try the
drug and do not want to leave, but Odysseus drags them back to
the ship. They also encountered the giant Cyclops Polyphemus.
8. 3. Odysseus led his men out of the cave of the Cyclops by hanging
onto the undersides of the sheep as they go out to pasture
enabling them to escape.
4. Aeolus, the keeper of the Winds, gives Odysseus a
priceless gift, a leather sack that holds all the storm winds.
Odysseus can sail home safely as long as he keeps the bag
closed.
9. 5. Circe turns Odysseus’ men into pigs. Her magic does not affect Odysseus and
she falls in love with him. She returns his crew into their human form and
helps them to get home. She told Odysseus to travel to Hades and speak to the
dead prophet Teiresias. Teiresias advises them not to harm the oxen belonging
to the Sun, as terrible things would happen. Before departing Hades, the
Greeks talk with some of their old war comrades, including Achilles and Ajax.
Circe has also given them another piece of information— that they must not
listen to the Sirens, women who lure men to death with singing that makes
them forget everything.
6. Odysseus was armed with an herb Hermes has given him.
