The "Odyssey" is a magnificient piece of literature that we find absolutely spectacular in the fact of its potential for helping us understand pre-history of many ancient cultures, and because of the fact that it is so well written and perhaps one of the first "books" (epics) ever written down.

3-They came to Telepylos, the stronghold of Lamos, king of the Laestrygonians. The Laestyygonians were cannibals, eating the poor seafarers who came to their island. These people attacked the fleet with boulders, sinking all but one of the ships and killing hundreds of Odysseus' men.
