The Land of the Dead

Hey guys. Odysseus here. Today my men and I sail to Aeolia, where Aeolus sends me on my way with a gift. The gift I received was a sack containing all the winds except the favorable west wind. When my men and I reach home we open the sack that Aeolus gave us, which let loose a storm and drives us back to Aeolia.
 We sailed for seven days and arrived in the land of Laestrygonians, which had many cannibals. These weird looking creatures destroyed all of our ships. My men and I finally reached Aeaea, the island ruled by the goddess Circe. She transformed half my men into swines. They are protected by a magic herb. I demanded that Circe turned my men back into human form instantly. We then departed the island a year later, but Circe informs that in order to reach home we have to journey to the land of the dead, hades, and consult the blind prophet Tiresias. So its going to be a tough and long journey but my men and I will hopefully get through it all.
