Do Irish put coins on dead peoples eyes for safe passage?

nope, those are/were the Greeks. The Irish leave a window open and then closed two hours later to prevent the spirit from re-entering. The body is then cleaned up as well as a rosary, cross and candles placed around the dead. The candle remains lit as long as the dead person is in the house. Their windows are closed, clocks will be stopped at the time the person died and mirrors will be covered or face the wall.


What sacrifice does Odysseus make in the land of the dead?

This act is crucial for him to communicate with the prophet Tiresias, who provides guidance for his journey home. Additionally, he must endure the pain of seeing the souls of those lost, including his mother, which serves as a poignant reminder of the costs of his long voyage and the sacrifices made along the way.
