In the land of the dead, Odysseus does not see the ghost of Agamemnon's son, Orestes. While he encounters other notable figures like Tiresias and his mother, Anticleia, Orestes is not among the spirits he meets. This absence is significant as Orestes symbolizes themes of vengeance and justice that resonate throughout Greek literature.
