Odysseus praises the singer; they bring him gifts; Naúsikaä says farewell.

Demódokos sings of the Wooden Horse; Alkínoös requests Odysseus’ story.

Odysseus tell his name and his story: the Kikonians, Lotus-eaters, Cyklops.

In a great cave, they are questioned by the Cyklops, who eats two men.

Blinded with a stake, the Cyklops tells his neighbors Nobody hurt him.

They escape beneath sheep; Odysseus taunts the Cyklops, who curses him.

Aíolos’ wind-bag untied, they return; the Laistrygonians destroy many ships.

In Aiaía Circè enchants several men; Eurÿlochos returns to tell Odysseus.

Hermes helps him; he resists Circè, and they go to bed; she frees his men.

After a year, his men tell him to leave, and she advises him on the voyage.
