Tiresias, the blind prophet, reveals that Poseidon is punishing the Achaeans for blinding his son Polyphemus. He foretells Odysseus's fate-that he will return home, reclaim his wife and palace from the wretched suitors, and then make another trip to a distant land to appease Poseidon. He warns Odysseus not to touch the flocks of the Sun when he reaches the land of Thrinacia; otherwise, he won't return home without suffering much more hardship and losing all of his crew.
