The fourth panel of the so-called Odyssey Wall Painting Landscapes from the Vatican Museums in Rome, 60-40 BC Laestigona /ˌlɛstrɪˈɡoʊniənz/ or Laestrygones /lɛˈstrɪɡəˌniːz/ (Greek: Λαιστρυγόνες) were a tribe of -humans from ancient Greek mythology. They are said to have originated from Lastrion, Poseidon's son. According to The Fukididam (6.2.1.) and Polybia (1.2.9) Laestrygones inhabited southeastern Sicily. The name is akin to the name Lestricini, a branch of the Corsican people on the northeastern coast of (now Gallura). The mythology of Odysseus, the protagonist of Homer's Odyssey, visited them during his journey home to . The ate many of the odyssey's men and destroyed eleven of its twelve ships by launching stones from high cliffs. The Odyssey ship was not destroyed because it was hidden in a bay near the shore. Everyone on the Odyssey ship survived the incident. Its soldiers, with a dozen ships, arrive at the rocky fortress of Lamos: Telepilus, the city of Laestrygonians. Lamos is no longer mentioned, perhaps it is understood as the founder of the city or the name of the island on which the city is located. In this country, a person who could do without sleep could receive double wages; once as a cattle shepherd and the other as a shepherd as they worked at night, as they did during the day. The ships entered the harbor, surrounded by steep cliffs, with one entrance between the two capes. The captains took their ships inside and made them quickly close together, where it was dead quietly. Odysseus kept his ship outside the harbor, moored to the rock. He climbed a high rock to give exploration, but could not see anything but smoke rising from the ground. He sent his company and the attendant to investigate the residents. The men went down the road and eventually met a young woman on the way to the Fountain of Artakia to fetch water, who said she was the daughter of Antifat or Antifat, the king, and directed them to his house. However, when they got there, they found a giant woman, the wife of antifats, who quickly called her, who immediately left the gathering of people and on arrival grabbed one of the men and killed him on the spot, presumably then eat him (as the Odyssey says, that he only met the men with the intention of eating them). Two other men, Eurylochus and Polites, ran away, but antifats raised a protest, so they persecuted thousands of laestrygonians who are either giants or very big men and women. They threw huge rocks from rocks, smashing ships, and spearing people like fish. Odysseus escaped with his ship because he was not trapped in the harbor; the rest of his company was lost. The surviving crew set off near , Circe Island. According to historian Angelo Paratico, the estrions were the result of a legend that arose at the sight of Greek sailors of giants Monet Pram, recently excavated in Sardinia. Later, the Greeks believed that the estrions, like the cyclops, once inhabited Sicily.

The Lasrigons were a race of powerful cannibal giants ruled by their king, the Antifats. Odysseus sent several scouts to see which nations lived there. Antifats and his unnamed queen forced these scouts to dine. As soon as Odysseus and his crew see this, they run back to their ships, but the Lasrigons throw stones and boulders at them and sink all the boats except the Odyssey boat. Hello again, ladies and gentlemen, it's nice to see you this morning. I hope you had a good night's sleep after our stay in Ikaria. This is the second day of our trip and we are getting deeper into the Greek islands. Does anyone know what mythical monsters Odysseus and his people face next? No, I'll give you a hint; they are similar to the cyclops of the last story. And you to meet Odysseus with the Estrationones? In fact, I was referring to the story of Odysseus and Estrigony. The Laestigons were a race of giants who lived on the island of Andros. We will be sailing to telepylus harbour, where sheer cliffs will provide excellent photo opportunities. The island is rumored to be deserted, but I suggest you keep an eye on the rocks. We do not want to live the same fate as many people of Odysseus. With the beginning of this story Odysseus and his people have been swimming for almost a week. They are relieved when they catch on the distant shore of Andros. After another twenty minutes or so paddling they finally reach the shore. Odysseus at first a little timid, because their ships moored in a very narrow and steep harbor. For this reason he, and he alone, decides to leave his ship outside the harbor; a decision that would save him from a certain death later in history. After leaving the ships, Odysseus sends three people to the nearby town of Lamus to find out what creatures lived on the island. After walking for a while, the three men came across the girl, scooping water from the creek. They asked her who the people who lived on this earth were and who the ruler was. She pointed to a nearby palace and told them that her father was the ruler. Three men immediately went to the palace to the great local ruler. When they entered the palace, they were surprised at how big everything was. They were even more surprised when the queen came to them. It was as big as a mountain and didn't seem in a good mood. She immediately turned to her Antifat, which was even bigger than she was. Without saying a word, Antifat grabbed one of the men and ate it. While the other two were running after the ships, the anitfats called the other Laestigons. The two remaining men ran back onto the ships as fast as their feet could take them, with the Laestrygonians hot on their heels. All the men boarded the ships and began to go out to sea. They didn't make it far though; Laestrygonians threw giant boulders at ships and sink them. The harbour turned out to be a death trap, and the only wise enough to escape the trap was Odysseus. He and the few people he remained swam away unharmed. Again Odysseus uses his superior mind to escape with his life. I hope you all enjoyed the trip to Telepilus Harbour and Andros Island. We got some great views of the cliffs, and were lucky enough to escape with our lives. Notes by the author: I really enjoyed telling this story. First of all, this is a story I had never read before I decided to make my book a story about the Odyssey monsters. Secondly, it was a story that left much to the interpretation. I didn't choose. change the story a lot because I'm trying to keep the originality of Homer's version. However, if I wanted to radically change history, it would be a definite possibility. I did a little change the way the story was told though. It takes a trained eye to notice the subtle differences I put in place, but I changed the perspective from which the story was storytelling. Instead of saying it from the Odyssey's point of view, as it is said in the Odyssey, I said it from my own point of view. Telling in terms of the story told made it easier to write. For example, I didn't need to add a dialogue to this story, and I didn't want to. I really enjoyed retelling this story and I hope you enjoyed reading it. I encourage you to try to make a connection with my other stories. For example, similarities between cyclops and estrion.
