What does Odysseus say after their escape
Teiresias
That one, there!
A taste of blood.
Circe's and Teiresias' last prophecy to Odysseus is that he alone will survive the journey. They also warn him against harming the sacred cattle of Helios, which ultimately causes the death of his men.
He gave Odysseus a prophecy of what he had to do when he got back to Ithaca, and gave him proper guidance on how to achieve these goals.
Circe and Odysseus journey to the Underworld to retrieve a prophecy from the blind prophet Tiresias. This encounter occurs in Homer's "Odyssey," specifically in Book 11, where Odysseus seeks guidance on how to return home to Ithaca. In the Underworld, Tiresias provides crucial advice and warnings for Odysseus's journey ahead.
The prophecy in the Odyssey foretells Odysseus' return home and his eventual triumph over his enemies. This prophecy serves as a guiding force for Odysseus throughout his journey, giving him hope and motivation to overcome challenges. It influences his decisions and actions, leading him towards his ultimate goal of reuniting with his family and reclaiming his kingdom.
