After the Trojan War, the Greek commander Odysseus was faced with a daunting journey home. It started with the cyclops, a one-eyed giant goat herder (Appleseed). Narrowly escaping by blinding it, Odysseus continues on his journeys (Appleseed). After that, Odysseus encountered the Isle of the Sirens, monsters with beautiful voices that lure unwary sailors to their deaths (Appleseed). Here, Odysseus had the men cover their ears and tie him to a mast, allowing for him to hear the beautiful song (Appleseed).
Many months later, the commander faced off with Charybdis and Scylla, two monsters that guarded a narrow strait that Odysseus had to cross (Encyclopedia of World Mythology 781). Then, trapped in Ortygia by the beautiful Calypso, Odysseus finally went home (Appleseed).
