The Odyssey begins in Troy, where the Trojan war ends. Odyessy is trying to go back home to Ithica. We read chapters 9 through 12, which is a summary of the book from before. So we only read up to when Odysseus tells the people of Thriancia his story.
After leaving Troy, a brief stop is made in Ismarus, where they took the place over briefly before leaving right before the reinforcements arrived
10 days after leaving Ismarus, a stop was made in the land of the lotus eaters. A few of his men ate the lotus flower, and “lost all desire to send a message back, much less return”. So Odysseus hurried his men back on board to keep them from eating of the lotus flower.
Another short stop was made in Aeolia, where the god of winds gave Odysseus a bag of storm winds to push him on his way. They immediately set sail for Ithica. When Ithica was on the horizon, Odysseus took a nap, and his men opened the bag of winds, blowing them back to Aeolia. For a very short time they were in Lamos as well but skipped quickly after the king tried to kill Odysseus’ men.
Odysseus, after spending a year with Circe, a witch, he leaves for the underworld and Hades before returning to Ithica. How they got there i do not know, but he talked to the ghosts of the dead there.
Odysseus passed the Sirens by being tied up by his men so that he couldn’t jump out a be caught by them. He made his way to Thriancia where he recounted all his adventures to the leaders there.
