Best Answer

In the land of the dead, Odysseus encounters, in order, one of his lost crew members, the blind prophet Teiresias and his mother. They all give him various warnings and council. Teiresias tells him that the challenges he has faced are a punishment from Poseidon's for having blinded his son Polyphemus, and his mother informs him of the goings-on in his home of Ithaca.
