After twenty years from home, Odysseus departs from the goddess Calypso's island. He arrives in Phoenicia, which is ruled by Alcinous. Alcionous asks Odysseus to tell him the story of his adventures, in exchange for a ship back to his homeland. Odysseus then proceeds to tell Alcinous of the war in Troy, going to Ismarus, how his soldiers dismantled the town and losing several rows of men on each ship from the Cicones army.
