Odysseus
Odysseus stopped visiting the dead after he completed the necessary rites and gained the knowledge he sought. In the Underworld, he conversed with spirits to learn about his future and receive guidance for his journey home. Once he felt he had gathered sufficient information and wisdom, he chose to return to the living world, prioritizing his journey back to Ithaca and his family. The experience in the Underworld was significant, but ultimately, his responsibilities and desires lay with the living.
The blind Theban prophet that Odysseus meets in the Underworld is Tiresias, also spelled Teiresias.
