This was full of memorable moments: Sirens, sea monsters and Odysseus' stupid crew performing a disgraceful sacrifice as an excuse for slaughtering Helios' beloved cattle.
Against stupidity even Odysseus 'of many counsels' is helpless.

Odysseus meets his dead friends in Hades. Homer's obsession and struggle with the topics of death and immortality is quite strong here; we get moving encounters e.g. with his dead mother. Another cool thing is all the short myths (often only a paragraph) of the heroines and heros.
I really liked that one despite it's dubious authenticity.

The Circe story is great. Odysseus sleeping with her was totally unnecessary but Homer, as so often, wanted to make it spicy. Maybe he needed a reason why they accidently stayed for a whole year.

This contains the famous Cyclops story, entertaining gore, and a lot of sheep.
