Monsters
This Whirlpool shoots out anything that it has swallowed three times a day.

This goddess has a soft spot for Odysseus and helps him probably more than he deserves.

Hades or the Underworld
In their hubris, the Suitors believe he will never return.
Odysseus
In one of his better moments, Odysseus leads his men here and back without major incident.

Cyclops
Poseidon
A long way from Ithaca, this is where Odysseus has to save his mean from their four legged fate.
Circe's Island
Because of their arrogance, this witch turns Odysseus's men into pigs. (You go girl!)
Circe
Taking someone's advice for freakin' once, Odysseus listens to Circe and also (safely) to these monsters.
Sirens
Much like his cousin from Springfield, this author (attributed with writing The Odysseus and its prequel The Iliad) is probably fictional.
Homer
Some say they're birds, some say mermaids, either way, you don't want to get drawn too near to them or you'll end up a skeleton on their pile of bones.
Sirens
He is sick and tired of humans blaming him and the other gods for everything all the time. Generally ambivalent to Odysseus, he'd prefer to be left out of it altogether.
Zeus
The Island of Laestrygonians
When Odysseus yells back his name at this Cyclops, he knows who to tell his Daddy to punish.

These types of stories are usually told by a society to explain its own origin, the nature of the gods, or the reason for natural phenomena.
Myths
Are they giants? Sorta. Are they cannibals? Definitely. This race of people live on an island all on their own with a small harbor and a lot of boulders.
Laestrygonians
This god can always be counted on to shed some light on the situation. Also, DO NOT touch his cattle. I'm looking at you Eurylochus...

Troy
When Odysseus falls asleep leaving his starving men surrounded by Helios's delicious cattle, he blames these people.
The gods
Never one to be rude, Odysseus shows a great deal of xenia in this person's home leading them to return his men in better than original condition.
