Answer:

Aeolus- A part I forgot

  • They stay with King Aeolus for 2 months and he gives Odysseus 2 bags of winds, the west which will blow them toward Ithaca and a bag of unfavourable winds
  • The men open the wrong bag and they are blown back to Aeolus who refuses to help them a second time

Thrynacia-

  • The remaining men and Odysseus land here which is home to Helios' blessed cattle.
  • The men are desperate for food and Odysseus tells them not to eat the cattle but they kill and eat one (Odysseus doesn't)
  • Zeus strikes the ship to appease Helios and only Odysseus survives

Ogygia (Calypso)-

  • Odysseus washes up on Ogygia, home of the nymph Calypso. She becomes infatuated with him and holds him prisoner on her island for 7 years until Hermes (sent by Zeus) tells her to let him build a raft and leave

Scheria-

  • After Poseidon once more sinks his boat, Odysseus washes up on Scheria and meets King Alcinous.
  • He regales him with the story of his adventure
  • When he is sleeping, he is put on a boat sailing for Ithaca (thanks Athena)

Ithaca-

  • When he awakens, he doesn't know he is home until Athena tells him and helps to disguise him so the suitors (who have been plaguing Penelope for her hand since Odysseus left) won't recognize him.
  • Penelope thinks the beggar is Odysseus so she arranges for an archery contest that only Odysseus can win
  • He wins in his disguise then shows himself and with the help of his son, Telemachus, they kill all of the suitors.
