Odysseus learns from Tiresias that he will face many challenges on his journey home, including encounters with monsters and temptations. Tiresias also warns Odysseus to be wary of the sun god Helios and his cattle, as harming them will bring destruction to his crew and delay his return even further.

In both cases, they had to exercise self-control and resist the temptation in order to continue on their journey.
