poseidon64.tripod.com/Odyssey.html
Sailing from Troy (Ilium)with 12 ships his army landed in Thrace and sacked the Ciconian city of Ismarus. Driven by the tempests past Cape Malea, they reach Lotophagi land, the home of the lotus plant. Unfortunately some the men ate the lotus which made them forget their homeland and families, and had to be dragged back to work.

They then came across the island of the Cyclopes. Odysseus took twelve men with him and waited in a cave of a Cyclops to study them and to get the presents that were due to them. Polyphemus drove his sheep inside, then ate two of Odysseus's men for supper. The next morning he had another two for breakfast, then took his flocks out and left. On Polyphemus' return Odysseus and six other survivors put into effect a perfect plan: they got him drunk and gouged out his eye with heated stake. Cunning Odysseus also tricked his Polyphemus's neighbours into thinking the blinded Cyclops was sick. The men then tied themselves under the bellies of the sheep and when Polyphemus opened the cave to let them out, the humans escaped. While on their escape, Odysseus couldn't resist telling Polyphemus his real name. Polyphemus prayed to his father Poseidon to have revenge on Odysseus for blinding him.
Book X
The weary and somewhat smaller crew are guests for a month on the island of Aeolus, keeper of the winds. When they leave Odysseus has a special gift: all the winds are tied up in one bag, except the one they need to get home. Odysseus doesn't sleep untill he can't stay awake any longer(just as Ithaca is in sight). His greedy and jealous men wonder what's in the bulging bag that Odysseus has and they decide to open it. The winds go round and round and blow the now hopeless crew away to a strange harbour where the eleven ships drop anchor. All the men except Odysseus and his immediate crew are lunch to the Laestrygonians.
