Short on time, so this'll be brief.
Book 11: Odysseus is hanging out in Hades, talking to the dead as they drink the blood he sacrificed. He hears that he'll make it home, but he'll go through more trials first. He sees old friends like Achilles and Ajax (and his friend who fell off the roof of the boat a little bit earlier) and then the dead are just SO PUSHY with their gibbering that he goes away after looking at Tantalus, who wants to eat and drink so much, but every time he reaches for the grapes around him they retreat. Hades: Not a great place for a vacation.
In the middle of this story Odysseus tries to beg of and go to sleep, but his hosts cry MORE, MORE and he continues.
