The Odyssey, Books 11-12

After reading book 11, I was beginning to wonder how long this was taking Ulysses to tell his story. It took alot of pages. Anyway, Ulysses visits Hades land. When Ulysses was with the ghosts, what were the other men thinking?  He didn't do much except talk to the ghosts.
There were some really awful deaths in this book, as well as in book 12. Homer must have been pretty good with his imagination to think of so many ways to kill people. 
In book 12, there were Sirens. When Eurylochus told the men to kill the cows, I was wondering if Ulysses told the men what would befall them if they did? He must have not told them the full effects of it since they did it anyways. . .
