In Book 10, Ulysses nearly reaches home, but his men release Aeolus’s winds, and the Laestrygonians destroy every ship except his own before he reaches Circe’s island. With Mercury’s help, he frees his enchanted companions, stays a year, and learns that he must consult the dead prophet Teiresias before returning home.
