After Circe's island Odysseus and his mens journey were like, far from over. They had many other obstacles to overcome. Lucky for Odysseus Circe like, told him ahead of time what obstacles they would have to overcome. First there were the Sirens. The Sirens like, when they sang the men would want to go to them and then they would like, become shipwrecked. So if they didn't want to become shipwrecked they would have to not listen to them. But if Odysseus wanted to listen he would have to have his men tie him down. So before they got to the Sirens Odysseus gave his men wax to put in their ears and tied him down. After hearing them sing Odysseus like, screamed for his men to untie him but they couldn't hear him. So like, they got away from the Sirens. Next Circe told Odysseus about Scylla who had six heads and twelve legs. She would pick men up from the ship and they would die. Odysseus didn't tell his men ahead of time about her because he didn't want them to be scared. So when they got there six of his men were taken. Odysseus men didn't listen to Circe or Odysseus when they said not to eat the cattle of Helios, the sun god's island. The men like, ended up eating the cattle which made Helios very angry. Since he was so angry Zeus threw a thunderbolt at the ship and nobody but Odysseus survived.
