The fist adventure of Odysseus when he left the defeated Troy with his 12 ships was the confrontation of the Cicones/ Ciconians, inhabitants of Ismara. His men looted the city but the next day he lost six men on each ship. He was fortunate enough to receive 12 jars of wine that helped him escape the Cyclops.
