The Tellings of the Truth, part 3

So I continue to tell my very long story of my journeys and how I got this far. We left off when I was told by Kirke to take my ship and my men and head to the Underworld. We made a sacrifice as we were told to do by Kirke to attract the souls. We needed to talk to Teiresias for a prophecy he would make for me. At first, the soul of Elpenor appeared. Elpenor was the man on my crew who got himself drunk the night before we left Kirke's island and broke his neck in a nasty fall off of her roof. He begged to return to the island to give his body a proper burial since we had left it just sitting there, untouched. I promised him that I would return to bury it but this was more of a lie because at this moment I was on a mission. When there are so many things on the line for yourself sometimes you must forget about the others and their wellbeing to make sure you can take care of yourself first. Next the prince of Thebes appeared to us. His name was Teiresia and he was the spirit we were looking for. He told me that Poseidon was punishing the Akhaians for the blinding of his son, Kyklops which was me and my men's wrongdoing. Then Teiresia told me of my fate. I was to first return home and reclaim my palace and wife from the suitors. Then when that business was taken care of I was to go on another journey to finally end this thing between Posiedon and I and I agreed it was about time by then. He ended his wise tellings by informing me to not touch the flocks of the sun when I reached the land of Thrinakia. If I were to I would not return home without suffering and loosing all of my crew. After I spoke to the spirit of my dead mother. She gave me a report on how Ithaka was doing and told me of how she died of the grief of my absense. After speaking to my mother I met many interesting, famous men and heroes and listened to their stories of what they did in their lives and how they died. At this point I was exhausted and asked the king and queen if I could go sleep but they insisted I continue with my stories from the Underworld so I did as I was told. I continued with the story of Agamemnon. He told me of how he was murdered by his wife Klytaimnestra. After speaking with him I met the spirit of Akhilleus. He asked me how his son, Neoptolemos was doing back in the real world. I also wanted to talk to the spirit of Aias. He had killed himself after loosing to a contest against me. He gave no reply and then turned away from me. I also met Herkales, King Minos and the hunter Orion. I had to watch the horrible sufferings of Sisyphos and Tantalos. Sisyphos was punished and had to roll a huge boulder up and down a large hill. Tantalos was starving and parched but whenever he would try and drink the water from the pond it would sink away from him and whenever he would try to grab a grape off a branch the branch would move out of reach. Suddenly, all these souls surrounded me asking about their loved ones that were still alive. I was so harrassed by the souls I ran back to my ship.
