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.
