<span>Helios (the sun god) had seven herds of oxen and
seven flocks of sheep guarded by his daughters, Phaëthusa and Lampetië. Circe
warned Odysseus to avoid the island no matter what as these harming these
cattles will bring will down Zeus’ wrath. However, cursed by Poseidon, Odysseus
and his men decided to stay on the island for a month with the condition that
no one must touch the cattles. When all the cattles died, Helios was enraged
and asked Zeus to cast a lightning on Odysseus’ ship. All his men died except
for Odysseus.</span>
Odysseus put the wax in his ears like circe told him so he wouldnt listen to the sirens and also had the men tie him down
