Answer:
Odysseus had lost the direction of Ithaca, but still decided to leave and leave Circe, daughter of Apolo. Circe advised him to go first to Hades's underworld and consult the shadow of the soothsayer Tiresias for advice. Arriving there, he found several other shadows of dead heroes and heroines, who warned him of a troubled comeback, noting that they should under no circumstances eat any three of Apolo's flock.
