In The Odyssey, the 72 men were killed by the Cyclops named Polyphemus. Odysseus and his crew became trapped in the Cyclops' cave, and to escape, they blinded Polyphemus. As a result, the enraged Cyclops killed some of Odysseus' men as they were leaving the island.

What adventurous encounters the Odysseus face in the story?

In order from 1st 2 last. 1. The Island of the Cicones: After leaving Troy, they stop to raid this island for supplies. The Cicones attack on horseback, and Odysseus lost 72 of his men 2. The island of the lotus eaters, he had to kidnap his own men to get them back on the ship. 3. The Island of the Cyclopes: Here, Odysseus and his men find a Cyclops' cave, lured by his cheese and wine. The cyclops, Polyphemus, traps them inside the cave. Odysseus and his men blind the cyclops, and then sneak out under his heard of sheep. 4. The Island of Aeolus: Aeolus, the god of the winds, gives Odysseus all of the bad winds, so he can safely sail home. Odysseus' men go against his orders and open the bag, and all of the winds escape. 5. The Island of the Laestrygonians: The Laestrygonians, a race of cannibals, eat the Greeks. Only the men on Odysseus' ship and himself survive. 6. Circe's Island: Circe turns Odysseus' men to swine, but Odysseus is protected from her magic with the help of Hermes, who gave him a magical herb called Moly. Odysseus ends up staying there for what seems like a short time, but ended up being a couple years. Before Odysseus departs, Circe finally tells him that he needs to find the blind prophet Teiresias in the Underworld. 7. The Underworld: Odysseus consults the prophet Teiresias to ask how he can get home, and finds his mother there, who has committed suicide in depression 8. The Island of the Sirens: Odysseus and his men pass here, an island with women singing their luring songs, trying to reel in sailors. So they do not hear, Odysseus fills his mens ears with beeswax, and he has them tie him to the mast. 9. Scylla and Charybdis: Odysseus chooses to sail for Scylla, a six-headed sea serpent, rather than Charybdis, a giant whirlpool. He did this because he knew that if he went to Charybdis, the whole ship would be destroyed. However, if he went towards Scylla, six men would die. A sacrifice the brave Odysseus decided to make. 10. The Island of Helios: They stop here, and Odysseus falls asleep praying to Athena. While sleeping, his men once again go against his orders and eat Helios' cattle. This outrages the god, and he threatens never to rise again. As a punishment, Zeus throws a bolt of lightning at the ship, and turns it to splinters. Only Odysseus survives 11. Ogygia (Calypso's Island): Odysseus finds this island after drifting in the sea. It is a island of women, with a nymph named Calypso, with whom Odysseus has a seven-year affair with. After the seven years, Hermes convinces Calypso to let Odysseus build a new ship so he could sail home 12. The Island of the Phaecians: The Phaecians accept Odysseus, and he explains his ten-year journey to them during a feast. They happily give him a ride home on one of their magical ships. 13. Ithaca: Odysseus finally arrives home. The men that gave him a ride had been turned to stone onboard the ship, as Poseidons final revenge. He sees his son, Telemachus, for the first time in 15 years. He and Telemachus kill all of the suitors, and Odysseus takes his place as king, once again, alongside his wife Penelope.


What were the Trials of Odysseus?

Chronologically (remember there were 12 boats, and 40 men per boat, so 480 men): The Cicone, a village neighboring another village they raided. 72 men died, 408 left. The encounter with the Polypemus (the Cyclopes). 6 men died, 402 left. The Laestrygonians, a kingdom of cannibals. 368 died, and all but one ship was destroyed. 34 men left. Elpenor, the youngest soldier, was drunk and fell off Circe's roof, breaking his neck. 1 died, 33 men left. Journey to the Underworld, nobody dies, but many of them are scared. The Scylla, a 6-headed beast. 6 men die, 27 left. Charbrydis, a whirlpool. No men die. Zeus revenge on Odysseus for killing Helios' cattle. 27 men die, and the last ship is destroyed. Odysseus is now all alone and lands on Calypso. From there he escapes, journeys to Phaecia, and the Phaecians bring him to Ithaca, where he kills all the suitors.
