Summary:  (Jaime)
So Odysseus continues telling the tale of his crew and him. They are now on the island of Aeolia, home of Aeolus son of Hippotas. He showed great hospitality toward Odysseus and even gave him a gift. It was a leather bag which contained the power of the wind. Odysseus and his men leave. However, his men start to talk about how Odysseus received silver and gold from Aeolus, and how unfair it was. Odysseus returns to the island hoping that Aeolus will clear this up for his men. However, Aeolus is not happy Odysseus has returned believing that it is a sign from the gods that they do not like him. Aeolus orders for Odysseus to leave. So they leave and continue to sail, when they come to another island. They meet a girl, the daughter of Antiphates, and she tells them who lives there and where the palace is. Odysseus sends a few men to the palace. They are greeted by Antiphates' wife but she is so big they are disgusted. She calls for her husband and he says he will kill them all and attacks one of the men. They leave immediately and continue on their way. They come to another island, Aeaea. Odysseus explores some of the area and kills a beast to eat. He later sends several groups with a leader each to survey the island. One group finds the home of Circe. She has them come in and gives them a potion in their food. However, one man, Eurylochus, thinks it is a trick and stays outside. All of the men forget their homeland and begin to act like pigs. Eurylochus returns to Odysseus and tells him what has happened. Hermes tells Odysseus that he must go to Circe and make her promise to not trick him anymore. So the men stay for a year and feast. Finally, the men ask Odysseus to start sailing again. Odysseus asks Circe if he can leave and she says he must go to the Halls of Hades to speak to Tiresias. The men, Odysseus, and a pilot (a Nymph) leave for the Halls of Hades.
