The land of the Cicones
- The first notable stop on Odysseus’ voyage was the land of the Cicones, a tribe allied with the Trojans (the mortal enemies of the Greeks). Here, Odysseus and his men sacked the city of Ismarus, taking spoils and enslaving women. Despite their initial success, Odysseus’ men, driven by greed, ignored his warnings to leave quickly.

The land of the Cicones
- The Cicones gathered reinforcements and launched a counterattack. The Greeks were caught off guard, leading to a fierce battle where many of Odysseus' men were killed. Their arrogance cost them their lives; they would have survived if they had listened to their captain.

The island of the Lotus-Eaters
- After their encounter with the Cicones, the fleet was driven by a storm to the land of the Lotus-Eaters near the African continent. The inhabitants of this island lived in a state of blissful forgetfulness induced by the consumption of the lotus plant (pictured).

The island of the Lotus-Eaters
- Odysseus sent a reconnaissance party to explore the island, but these men, upon eating the lotus, lost all desire to return home. Realizing the danger, Odysseus forcibly retrieved his men and set sail immediately.

The Cyclops Polyphemus
- Polyphemus trapped them and began devouring Odysseus’ men one by one. Odysseus cunningly blinded Polyphemus with a heated stake, allowing him and his men to escape.

Aeolus
- Just as the fleet sailed within sight of Ithaca, Odysseus' crew opened the bag, thinking that it contained treasure. The winds were unleashed into a tempest that drove them back to Aeolia. This time, Aeolus refused to help, believing their misfortune was a sign of divine displeasure.

The Laestrygonians
- Directionless, Odysseus and his crew sailed west, away from their homeland. The next landfall was in the territory of the Laestrygonians, a race of giant cannibals.

Circe’s island
- Odysseus and his remaining men arrived at Aeaea, the island home of the enchantress Circe, located near modern-day Spain. She turned half of his men into swine upon their arrival.

Circe’s island
- Circe was impressed by Odysseus, and so she became his ally and lover. They stayed on the island for a year, feasting and resting, until Odysseus was eventually reminded of his goal to return home. To help him, Circe advised Odysseus to seek the counsel of the prophet Tiresias in the Underworld.

The Underworld
- Following Circe’s instructions, Odysseus journeyed to the Underworld, the realm of the dead, to consult the blind prophet Tiresias. There, he performed the necessary rituals to summon the spirits.

The Underworld
- In the Underworld, Odysseus also encountered the spirits of his mother, Anticlea, and other notable figures from his past, such as the hero Achilles and the late king Agamemnon.

The Sirens
- Upon returning from the Underworld, Odysseus and his men sailed east and eventually faced the Sirens, whose enchanting song lured sailors to their doom. Following Circe’s advice, Odysseus had his crew plug their ears with beeswax and ordered them to tie him to the mast of the ship.

The Sirens
- Odysseus was curious to hear the Sirens' song without succumbing to their lure, and so he alone listened while bound to the mast. As they sailed past, he was entranced and begged to be released, but his loyal crew kept him securely fastened until they were safely out of earshot.

The island of Thrinacia
- Facing starvation, the crew eventually slaughtered the sacred cattle while Odysseus was asleep. This act of defiance angered Helios, who demanded retribution from Zeus.

Calypso’s island

The Phaeacians
- Shortly after leaving Calypso’s island, Odysseus' raft was wrecked by Poseidon. Thankfully, he was saved by the sea goddess Ino and washed ashore on Scheria, the land of the Phaeacians. Exhausted and near death, he was discovered by Nausicaa, the king's daughter, who led him to the palace.

Return to Ithaca
- Odysseus sailed west on the ship and finally arrived in Ithaca after a tumultuous journey. But his trials were not yet over. Disguised as a beggar, Odysseus learned that his palace was overrun by suitors vying for the hand of Penelope (pictured), since they believed him to be dead.

Return to Ithaca
- With the help of his son and a few loyal servants, Odysseus plotted his revenge.

By completing the challenge, Odysseus revealed himself. The remaining suitors were slain quickly after.

Reunion and restoration
- The reunion of Odysseus and Penelope was initially marked by skepticism. Penelope tested Odysseus by ordering their marriage bed to be moved, a task that was impossible because one of its legs was actually a living olive tree. Odysseus' knowledge of this secret proved his identity to Penelope.

Reunion and restoration
- The couple's reunion was a joyous one. With Athena's assistance, peace was restored in Ithaca and Odysseus was able to reclaim his throne.

Where did Odysseus go during his 10-year journey?
Why did it take the Greek hero so long to return home?
© Getty Images
In the 12th century BCE, a legendary battle known as the Trojan War came to an end. Most of the surviving Greek warriors and heroes returned home, but not all of them did. For 10 years, the hero Odysseus sailed around the Mediterranean Sea, trying to return to his home and his wife. His journey was described by the ancient Greek poet Homer in an epic poem known as 'The Odyssey.'
