All eleven ships are lost, and
all their crews, leaving your ship as the last of
the fleet. Grief-stricken, you sail away, coming
ashore at an island. A shore party of 22 men, led
by your cousin Eurylochus, sets off to explore.
He returns alone that evening, and reveals that
all of the others have been turned into pigs by
Circe, an enchantress. Your men refuse to attempt
a rescue.
