Odysseus is  king of a town called Ithaca.  His home town of Ithaca are rivals with the neighboring town Troy.  Odysseus and a handful of some of his most trusted men went to Ithaca and burned it down to it's roots.  After they left in great triumph Odysseus and his crew members had to find a way back to their hometown of Ithaca.  They sailed for days until they met land but on the land there was a strange fruit that seamed to make the men who ate it delusional.  After some men had eaten the fruit they sailed off once again with some men delusional and some men regular.  After a couple days of sailing the delusional men came to it again and Odysseus and the other men were relieved.  After more days of traveling they came to the cave of Cyclops's.  One very special cyclops was Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon.  Odysseus and his crew took care of the cyclops Polyphemus.  They fed her and put her to bed so she wouldn't get mad.  There were sheep  in the cave and one day as Polyphemus woke the sheep came out in threes.  For every sheep Odysseus and his crew members hung onto the sheep's belly to get off the island.  As they traveled they met land again.  They were at the island home of Circe, the goddess of enchantment.  They stayed there for a month until Circe started turning Odysseus's crew into boars.  After that when they were eating dinner one night Odysseus drew his sword on Circe, she pleaded that she would give him everything and love him but when she went to turn him into a boar Odysseus made her promise she wouldn't turn him into a boar and that she turned his crew back into regular humans. She did as he said and all went well for another year.  Odysseus and the goddess had a child and when they were ready to leave she gave him a bag of winds to get back to his hometown of Ithaca.  Odysseus's crew thought that the bag of winds was a bag of gold and thought that Odysseus was hogging it all to himself.  Therefore they opened it when he was away and it blew them back to the home of Circe.  Odysseus pleaded for Circe to give him another bag but she just told him to voyage to Hades and get his prophecy from Tiresias.  They voyaged to Hades and Tiresias told him that Odysseus and his crew had upset the gods especially Poseidon because they had knocked down the walls he put up and they had made Poseidon's son Polyphemus really angry.
