Island of the Laestrygonians

When the men and Odysseus come upon the shore of this island, they are greeted by a princess of the Laestrygonians. She tells them that they would like to have them for dinner, and then when the crew and Odysseus try to run away back to the boats, the Laestrygonians begin throwing boulders at them and their ships. In the end, Odysseus goes from having twelve boats, to only one, and many of his men are gone. This island is very rocky, and has large cliffs.
