Odysseus continues on his story about how he is on is ship and a witch type thing, lures all of his men but one in bu her beauty and they never returned. The one man that is left, approaches him and asks him not to go after the crew, because it is going to cost his life, but he says its his duty and leaves the man behind. He then finds that all of his friends are turned into pigs which really bothers him, and the witch is impressed by him because the poison doesn't affect him. Circe and him eventually become "lovers" so to speak, and she eventually lets them all go. He then travels to the sea of the dead where he starts to see a lot of people that have passed away including the one crewman who committed suicide. After he continues on his story, he goes to try and stop and the men tell him to keep going that his story is really interesting and they start questioning him.

For the picture, ignore the watermark in the middle of the picture, that has no significance, it was the only picture that really demonstrated how beautiful she was, and how the pigs (the crewman) were so entranced by Circe the witch.

Does seeing the souls of those who have any effect on Odysseus? What about the other characters? Does it have any big significance in the story? Also, why do you think Odysseus wanted to stop telling the story?
