As you read this passage, recall that Tiresias is a blind prophet who helps Odysseus seek the underworld.

The men rowed as hard as they could, until at last, they reached the open sea. In front of them lay the island of Thrace, full of grazing cattle and sheep.

“If you kill any of them, you and your ship will be destroyed.”

Odysseus told his men what the prophet Tiresias had said and commanded them to row on. But Eurylochus did not agree.

“We are all exhausted,” he said. “Let us land on this shore for just one night, so that we may rest and eat the food that Circe gave us.”
