Help with the Odyssey Timeline?

I have to do a timeline. It is due on Monday. I am confused with a few things. In the movie, the Wind God gave Odysseus a box with wind in it to get back to Ithaca. But the Wind god wasn’t in the book. and I’m confused about the cattle of the Sun God. How do the events go?

Meet the Wind God and he gives Odysseus wind.

His men open the box and they end up in Circe’s land.

After Circe, they go to the Land of the Dead.

They get the Cattle of the Sun God

Odysseus’ crew destroys it.

Do Scylla and Charybdis come after this?

I know all of the men die before Odysseus reaches Calypso?

In which order do these events go?

The Wind God gave Odysseus a bag of winds for him to use to get to Ithaca. Only one hour away from Ithaca, Poseidon tricks Odysseus’ crew to make them believe the bag is full of gold, and the open it, releasing a hurricane of winds.

The winds take them to Circe’s place.

He then Journeys to the Underworld.

He later arrives at the home of Sirens ( Might not be in your book )

After that, they reach the Cattle of Helios. They had to make sure Helios’ cattle did not run off, but Odysseus’ men get hungry and eat on of the cattle while Odysseus is not looking.

He then reaches Scylla and Charybdis.

And then lands in Calypso’s Island. She releases him because Zeus sent Hermes.

Finally, Odysseus reaches Ithaca
