Book 20- Signs and a Vision


Why is it so hard to be a beggar? People are always up in my grill; hating on me. I mean seriously why cant they just let me be there and not do anything about it. They are dogs. They are animals that are just let out and dont respect anyone. I mean they have women come into MY house and sleep with them nightly, while they are trying to get my wife's hand in marriage. NO; NOT COOL. They are treating Penelope like she is not there. They say that they like her, but really they are just using her. This is making me soo mad. I cant sleep, and this is bad. If i cant sleep than i wont be ready for any tasks or danger that would come my way. Its just i wish there was a way that the suitors could make Penelope happy until i could.

Book 19-

Heyy Its Penelope.
So last night i had the weirdest dream, I have been pondering over it for the longest time. I really want to get all the info out to everyone and try to analyze this dream. My dream was about an eagle swooping down and killing these geese. 
I have been thinking a lot about two brides that my subconscious mind could put this data in. I came up with one bridge that leads to useless information. The second bridge that i came up with is a bridge that leads to information that is real, and that will be used in later life.
After thinking about my dream for a very long time I think i have came up with a solution to my dream. I feel that the geese represent the suitors. I feel that the eagle represents Odysseus. I feel that soon Odysseus will come and kill all the suitors. I feel that this dream goes into the bridge that goes with the information that is useful. 

I hope this is what my dream actually mean.

Book 18- Blows And A Queens Beauty

Yo Whats up yall!! 

Earlier today I talked about things that might not have been clear to you all. Let me go over the things that i said. 

I first talked about how we cant rely on the gods. We just take them for granted and this is not good because if the gods don't like us were screwed. I personally know this because I have had some gods not on my side. 
The next thing that i talked about that might have not been clear is that when I was happy, i took things way to fast and made lots of mistakes. I had such a carefree life, and not look where i am. I am stuck here getting beat up by the suitors. But just wait, their time for death is coming soon... very soon. 
The third thing that i talked about is that i have learned that the rules that the gods make you follow and will take the advice. You cant have a second thought about the advise that they give you. Take it and follow it! I used to fight against the gods, and lots of bad things happen to me. I have learned my lesson. 
The last thing that i talked about that i might have not been unclear is that i have to go to the suitors and finish the job that i was meant to do. I need to fight, and kill all of them and re take my spot in this manor. This has to happen! I have to do this.

Well see yall later!
the big O is out!

Book 17- The Beggar at the Manor


It is so hard to keep a disguise around your house. I am good at fighting physically against people. That is my talent. I don't like fighting conflicts "emotionally" That is not my battle. I have to go into the manor and pretend to be a stupid beggar and have the suitors do whatever they want to me. I know this is all part of a greater plan to get back at them, but this plan just sucks. I go into the Manor and the first thing that the suitors do to me is treat me horribly. They are forced to give me a place to stay and food to be put into my belly, but otherwise they treat me terribly. Usually when welcomed into a home, you are treated with respect, but not here. I mean seriously... But the joke is on them, they dont know that im going to come and kill them when they least expect it. HAHAHA

Book 16- Father and Son


Will I be a good father? There are so many things that I just excel at but being a father is just not one of them. I would rather be at war than go through the pain of being rejected. What if they already moved on and don't need me there. I have gotten so far dealing with the battles that are not supposed to be fought with guns, but this is the hardest battle that I have to face. Usually parents are so excited to be parents, but with me its different. I am the opposite of everyone. When Telemakhos arrives at the swineherds hut, I was still in disguise as a begger. Athena came down in disguise and gave me the confidense to reveal my identity to Telemahos. At first we were in shock but then we were united. It felt great! Being a father wasn't as hard as i thought it would be. We then started to plan our revenge on the suitors. We wanted to surprise the suitors by coming into to palace dressing up as beggers. Our plan got foiled because the men of Telemakhos announced to the town the arrival of Telemakhos and ruined our attack on the suitors. The suitors were now ready for the arrival of Telemakhos and wouldn't let two beggers let them be fooled.

Chapter 12- Sea Perils and Defeat


I have a long Journey ahead of me. I decided that to ease the pain from my mind that I should go give Elpenor a proper burial. I spend one more night with Kirke and learn about the obstacles that i will face returning to Ithaca. She tells me of a monster who will eat the heads off of my men, of a seductive song that will be played, and a whirl pool that will pull ships into the sea. She tells me how to defeat these three obstacles with as little damage as I can get. I put bees' wax in the mens ears to make sure that they will not get seduced by the song that will be played. I went straight through the monster who eats the mens heads off. We got through will only six of our men getting eaten. That is a pretty good success. We then approached the island of Trinacia. I wanted to go right past the island but i was out ruled by my men. Usually all the crew agrees with what the captain wishes, but not in my case. My crew has over ruled me in many situations. Just our luck we got stuck there for a whole month. When we finally got to sea, the rough seas landed us to the island of Kylpso. The rest is history from there. 

Book 11- the Gathering of Shades


Visiting the underworld caused so many past pains to come up, and get in my head all over again. The past plays so many different problems that I have put to the back of my mind, and have forgotten about. When i entered the underworld something triggered my sub-conscious to bring back the memories of my previous dead soldiers, my mother, and my wife. These problems all gave me more fear for me to return to Ithaca . I talked to my recently dead soldier who told me i had not given him a burial, and that he would want one. I talked to my mother who told me she died of the grief of waiting for my return. I talked to Agamendmon about my wife who put the thought in my mind that my wife could be screwing around with the suitors, and that i have lost her to. This gave me the impression that there is no reason for me now to return to Ithaca. Usually people worry about others, and what they are thinking of. For me, I am just scared of the things that will start to remember. Do I have anything to go home to?

Book 10- The Grace of the Witch


Being forced to do something you don't want to do just blows. My crew arrived on the island and was faced with the cannibal beasts. We defeated them but no so long after we we confronted with the witch. She was kind at first but, I could tell that she wasn't there to help me nor my crew get back to Ithica. She lead my men and I to a feast with wine, and many sorts of foods. In the wine she had put a poison that turned my men into pigs. They didn't know what they were drinking, and were forced to be turned into pigs. Ares gave me protection in the form of a flower that made me immune to the poison. In the result of me being immune to the poison the witch made me sleep with her. Usually when making love both the man and the women want it and respect each other. In my case I nor respected her or wanted to sleep with her. Yet I was forced and slept with her for a year. I convinced her to turn my men back into human because i told her i wouldn't eat without the company of my men. She returned them back, and after a the year was over, we were gone.

Book 9- Poseidons son


Its hard for me to let go of the past. I try so hard to tell myself that forgetting about the war is the best thing to do. Going back to my family and meeting my son for the first time is the right thing to do. Usually people when they know of what they want to do, they do i all out with no hesitations. Not for me!!!! I know that going back is the right thing to do, but i also find so man reasons that make me believe that it is also a mistake to go back. It is hard for me to open up about myself to people I barely know. I decided to take a big chance and tell the people that I live with my true identity. They have thought for a very long time now that I was just a normal person traveling the seas. I told them the story of how I met posiedons son the cyclops with my crew. I told the people on how I stabbed his eye out, and how i lost so many people fighting with him. I figured thats why posiedon has been giving me trouble on the sea. It took a lot of courage for me to do what i did, but in the end I'm happy that I told them the true me.

Book 8- The Songs Of the Harper


Odyessus Here, 
Life is very complicated for me. So many relationships and obstacles to think about.  There is a big feast coming up in the honor of Athena. I am not looking forward this. There are just so many memories that i was reminded of from the sight and the thought of the feast. I didnt have a  good time at all watching the feast that was being held. Usually people can be upset and suck it up about these things and get through it. Today I couldn't handle the sadness that was presented in the memories that I had. The king noticed that I wasn't having a good time at all and made the night go by faster. He skipped the rest of the feast and proceeded straight to the games that were going to be played. A man asked me if I would play against him in one of the games. Me being the competitive person that I am accepted. I beat him with ease. It was like taking candy from a baby. Later that night I join Demodocus in another feast. He starts to sing for me. We had such a great time together that i promised that I would bring him home with me on my journey home. After dinner i asked Demodocus to sing the Trojan Hoarse. After hearing him sing a couple lines, i started to break down again. The king then commanded him to stop. I don't know what is up with me, every little thing from the past makes me feel so isolated and alone. I hope i start to feel better in the near future.

Book 5- Sweet Nymph and Open Sea


Yo Ody here!!! Sorry I have been gone so long, but i have been captured by the sea nymph Kalypso. She was all over me... women. Everyday i sit and cry about the life that I don't have. I have miss my life at the palace so much. I wonder how my beautiful wife is, and my young strapping bow Telemachus. Thank god for Hermes, and the rest of the gods. It was a long battle, due to the fact that Kalypso loves me, but we finally guilt tripped her into freeing me from captivity. I mean usually people say I cant let you go, but adventually do. Kalypso didnt seem to quit. The situation seemed that i would never see my family again. Thank goodness we finally made her change her mind. She spent her last minutes with me building my boat to escape the island. I was finally on my way back to the people I love , and the life I should be living. After 17 days at sea, Posiedon created a huge storm that the waves almsot swallowed me whole. Thank Zeus for the goddess of Ino. She threw upon me her veil. this kept me immortal till i reached land. As promised when i reached land i threw the veil back into the water for her to recollect it.  For now i lay on the island with the forest.
Peace- Odysseus

Book 4- The Red-Haired King and His Lady


My fathers sooo cool! He was such a great warrior. He thought of the coolest things to do to get the Spartans ahead in the Trojan War, and some of them actually worked. The King and Queen of Sparta told me that he disguised himself as a pesant to get into the city of Troy. After he go in, Sparta was able to come in and do some real distruction. He was soo cool. Usually soldiers will fight for their side, but some go all out. My father was one of those people who went all out. I look up to him for that. In Sparta I also met a nice man named Proteus. He was a real help to me while i was there. All the information that I was given made me so sad. I started to cry when I heard all of the cool things that my father had done. I just wish I had knew this stuff and not being told about it. Buts its better to get to know him later in my life than never....He was the main reason why I traveled to Sparta. Proteus gave me information bout the whereabouts of my father. He told me that he is captured by Kalypso on her island. I must go to the island and rescue my father, but first I must go back to Ithica to tell my people what I have discovered


Book 3- The Lord Of The Western Approaches


How do I find my father? This world is huge, and he could be anywhere. This blows! Mentor says he can lead me to a guy, who might be able to help us figure out where he may be. The guys name is Nestor. When we reached the area to where he was he told us to get to my father. I was very nervous at first to talk to him, but Mentor gave me the confidence to speak to him. He said we had to make sacrafices to the gods of Athena and Posiedon. He also told me very important information that had to do with the war. Nestor told me about Agamendmon's fate. Nester let me stay in his house with him for the night too. Usually people let all your guests stay in your home and not just one, Mentor had to return to the boat and look after the suitors. After becoming to the decission for Nestors' son and I to head off to Sparta the next day, Athena revealed herself  by stripping herself out of Mentors' body. OMG, i was so surprised.

Book 2- A Hero's Son Awakens


Why won't these people treat me with respect? A ruler should have control and support of his people, not have his people treat him with disrespect. They don't listen to me. All they do is ignore my words when I'm speaking. I know i have been very quiet for the past years, but now that i am speaking up they should listen to what i have to say. They should be helping me rule now that i am stepping up to the job. The suitors don't care on what i tend to do, all they care about is winning over my mother. They believe she is a prize and fighting for her is some competition, i swear do they not care how she feels. I need people to back me up so i can go out to sea and find my father. I know he is alive i just have to go and find him, but i just need the support of the suitors. Thank goodness for Mentor! With out him, the suitors would have kept pushing me over, but he convinced them to help me with my journey. I am setting off on my journey now, i hope my mother will be alright without me there, but i think she can manage. I must find my father.

Book 1- A Goddess Intervenes



Are these peope for real? My father, Odysseus, is missing and these suitors don't even care. All they want to do is marry my mother. When Odysseus left I was only an infant. I am now older and wiser. I just wish that he would come back. I just know that he wouldn't like these suitors being here, all over mom. They must go! I mean seriously, they aren't helping anyone. My mother doesn't even like them here. My mother is a smart beautiful women who deserves someone who is just as smart, and would treat her with the respect that she deserves. These suitors just believe that just because she is beautiful and now availible, that all they need to do is show up, and offer themselfs up for marraige. I mean seriously, all they do is drink, dance, and sing. I cant just get rid of these suitors by myself, luckily my fathers good friend Mentor showed up to help me. He told me all these things including that my father is alright and will be returning back to Ithaca very soon. He also toldme to banish all the suitors from my fathers estate, and help me finish the job. I cant stop wondering if Mentor is really Mentor. I am pretty positve that Mentor is really a goddess upon me, but I can never be positive that this theroy is true. I just have a very strong feeling that Mentor is a goddess. I know, lol. The suitors are gone and hopefully my father will be returning soon. I might find out if Mentor is a goddess. I just have to wait and find out soon.
