The hero has supernatural abilities/a special weapon: Odysseus's' bow. The hero's travels take him to a supernatural world: the underworld. The hero seeks advice from a wise man: Tiresias the Theban. The cycle reaches a low point, where the hero nearly gives up his quest: Odysseus's' ship struck down by Zeus and Odysseus washed up onto Calypso's island. Hero comes to a land where he wins a bridal contest, marries, and becomes a king: Odysseus strings the bow and shoots through the axes. Restitution: Odysseus kills all the suitors and is reunited with Penelope.
