Answer:

Tiresias

Step-by-step explanation:

Odysseus travels to the Land of the Dead to speak with the prophet Tiresias. When he gets there, he makes a blood sacrifice so that the spirits of the dead will emerge from the depths of Hades. One of the first spirits he speaks to is Elpenor, who begs him not to leave him unburied and unmourned.

Eventually, Tiresias comes forth to speak with Odysseus. The prophet tells Odysseus that his journey back to Ithaca will be hard. However, he offers Odysseus advice on how to overcome the odds.
