Tiresias tells Odysseus that he must make a journey to appease Poseidon by finding a place where people do not know of the sea and by offering a sacrifice of a ram, a bull, and a boar. He instructs Odysseus to plant his oar in the ground as a sign of his respect for the god of the sea. This act will show Poseidon that he acknowledges his power and seeks to make amends for the harm done to the Cyclops Polyphemus, Poseidon's son.
