Circe warns Odysseus that Scylla is too powerful to fight directly. She advises him to sail quickly past her, sacrificing a few of his men to her instead of engaging in a battle he cannot win.
Melanthius believes that Odysseus will never return and reclaim his throne, allowing him to continue his disloyal behavior without consequences. He is confident that he can align himself with the suitors to maintain his position of power in the absence of Odysseus.
Ulysses (Odysseus) first impression of the cyclopes was that they were strong, feirce creatures. Odysseus was a very clever man and too clever for the cyclopes. I dont think that the cyclopes' way of life appeals to Odysseus because they arent very active. Think about it, they live on the same island all their lives while Odysseus is out on the open see trying to get back home to Ithica. no.............odysseus thinks they are disorganized and filthy creatures......and a bunch of other things

Telemachus initially thinks Odysseus is a stranger when they reunite, as Athena has disguised Odysseus to test his son's loyalty and bravery. Telemachus only realizes the truth after Odysseus reveals their shared knowledge of a secret about their household.
Telemachus thinks Odysseus is a stranger when they first reunite. Athena disguises Odysseus as a beggar to test the loyalty of his household and to prepare for his revenge against the suitors.
Eurylochus did not obey to the orders of Odysseus and when Odysseus brought back his colleagues from the palace of Circe they almost had a fight
Circe was certainly one, I think at least one of Scylla and Charybdis was female...
you think im playing
For the cheesiest reason possible: he loves only his wife, he misses her, and wants to go home. I would think that would be obvious as that's the reasoning he gives Circe.
In "The Odyssey," Circe is a powerful witch who lives on the island of Aeaea. She is known for turning Odysseus's men into swine and for her ability to use magic. Circe plays a significant role in the story as she helps Odysseus on his journey home and gives him important advice.
Poseidon was a son of Cronos, who was Oceanus' brother. Circe, according to some accounts was one of the Oceanids, one of Oceanus's daughters. This makes Poseidon and Circe cousins and both direct descendants of the titans. In Homer's story of the Odyssey, Circe aided Odysseus on his epic journey to return home to Ithaca while Poseidon opposed his return out of revenge for Odysseus having killed his son, the Cyclops Polyphemus. In this indirect way, Circe opposes Poseidon, but in the story, there is no mention of their direct enmity. I think if Poseidon found out Circe had helped Odysseus, Poseidon would have been extremely annoyed with her and perhaps would have even sent earthquakes and storms to her island.

After the battle between Odysseus and the suitors, Phemius plays dance music so that the townspeople will think that there is a celebration going on, eg Penelope getting remarried. They do this so that no one will get suspicious, and somehow find the bodies and report back to the town. Phemius was forced against his will to entertain the suitors of the wife Odysseus left alone at home while on his Odyssey, Penelope. Due to his unwillingness in performing for the men, Odysseus spares his life.
In "The Odyssey," Circe is very important in determining the fate of Odysseus. After he had conquered the goddess, he lived very happily with her for a year. She released his men from the spell that turned them into swine and offered him two alternative routes of passage, as well as very helpful information on the underworld.
Well it's difficult to express which were 'mosters' but in Odysseus' adventures on his way home from Troy to Ithaca, he accounters many. The Cicones who were human beings, The lotus eaters who are also human and who grew lotus fruit which made some crew members forget there longing to go home, the cyclops (Polythemus) who ate some of the crewand was blinded by Odysseus, the Leastragonians who were giants that killed all of the remaining ships full of men (all except Odysseus'), Circe the witch who transformed crew members into pigs but later turned them back and showed hospitality to Odysseus and hid men, the Sirens which were beautiful singing beings who lured men to there island and killed them and Scylla and Charybdis, who were probably the most monster-like of them all. If you do not think that Polyphemus, the Cyclops, was monstrous enough, there were Scylla and Charybdis in the sea.
To make sure that his crew stay calm and not think that he's crazy to go up against a giant snake and whirlpool
i think scylla is not a hydra because in mythology it never points out that if you chop off her head it grows back. Plus there are theories that scylla was once a beutiful gilf that was turned into a monster.
