Document Summary
Became only one that heard the sirens and survived. Had his men ie him up to the mast. His men"s ears were illed with wax: the returns (nostoi) Controversy: praising war or condemning it: agamemnon. A had some troubles on the way home due to ajax the lesser. Athena became angry at ajax since he raped cassandra (priestess of athena) in the temple of athena. A storm arose sent from the gods, destroyed ajax"s ships and some of agamemnon"s. Ship crashed and got onto a rock, said not even the gods can kill me . Poseidon took his trident and smashed the rocks, ajax dies. Going across aegean sea: menelaus (with nestor) Nestor got home easily he lived in pylos. Got separated, menelaus got hit by a storm, blown further south in pharos, stuck on shore. Tried to igure out why the gods were angry at him because he hasn"t made all sacriices to the gods before he let troy.
