The Odyssey
After the events in Circe...
Odysseus and what was left of his men was told to visit the ghost prophet Teiresias by Circe. They wanted to ask the prophet how they will finally get home to Ithaca from where they are. Basically, they were lost, and needed guidance.
Welcome to the Underworld
Upon arriving in the Underworld, Odysseus got a little bit more than he bargained for. After he and his men performed the ritual to call the spirit of Teiresias, many other ghosts also appeared. Among these randoms were actually some very important people that meant a lot to Odysseus.
Odysseus's VIP
Anticlea
The mother of Odysseus, she committed suicide after Odysseus failed to return home for the longest time. Out of everyone that he meets there, he was most surprised to see her. Anticlea told Odysseus many things regarding how things are working out back at home in Ithaca.
Teiresias
The person that Odysseus came to see, Teiresias was a prophet who now resides in the House of Hades. He told Odysseus of his curses by Neptune, and promised him great misfortune that are yet to come. Some of which includes losing all his men and arriving in a home infested with men trying to marry his wife.
Agamemnon
A great hero of the Trojan War, poor Agamemnon came home only to be brutally murdered by his own wife. He tells of the savagery to Odysseus when the met in the Underworld and warns him to not always trust people, not even Penelope. He also asked Odysseus if he knew about his son, Orestes.
A few more noteworthy folks...
Tantalus
The sad tale of Tantalus revolves around not being able to quite reach something. He stood in a lake as high as his chin, but he could never drink the water because it would dry up every time he tried. Above him were beautiful and ripe fruits of every color, but he could never reach it because the wind would blow the branches away from his grasp.
Sisyphus
Sisyphus was the one who tried to roll his huge boulder up a hill. Every time he reached the top, the boulder would pivot under its weight and slide back down the hill. The diligent Sisyphus tried many times and worked his body to the max, but could never roll the rock over to the other side.
