In The Odyssey, after leaving Troy, Odysseus and his men land on the island of the Cicones. They raid the city and take what they want, but the Cicones fight back and defeat them. Many of Odysseus' men are killed, and they are forced to retreat to their ships and sail away.
Odysseus lost 72 men during the encounter with the Cicones. After raiding the Cicones' city of Ismarus, his men celebrated and became complacent, allowing the Cicones to regroup and retaliate. This led to a fierce battle that resulted in significant losses for Odysseus and his crew.
Odysseus's men were slaughtered by the Cicones because they disobeyed his orders and lingered too long in the land of the Cicones after raiding it for supplies. After initially defeating the Cicones, the crew celebrated with feasting and drinking, which allowed the Cicones to regroup and counterattack. As a result, they were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses when the Cicones retaliated, leading to the deaths of many of Odysseus's men.
