part 2

Dear Journal,

My men have betrayed my orders again just like when they opened the bag of winds against my command. I want to feel bad for all of thier deaths but i warned them that they should not have eaten the cattle. Our ship was destroyed and i was the only survivor. i find it ironic that i was the only one who listened to the warning and i was the only one to survive. if only my men had listened. they might be around with me today.

I just realized I had these saved in the drafts but not published..

Dear diary,

I have finally managed to get back to my homeland of Ithaca. Alas, however, the suitors have taken residence in my castle, and my queen and son can not rid the castle of them. So, using my cunning and the help of the goddess Athena, I managed to kill all the suitors with my son and with the help of the servants. But my wife didn't believe that I was actually Odysseus, so I managed to convince her using a secret that only her and I know of: the bed post that is actually a tree. And so, I am finally home, with my wife again, and this is due partially to the goddess Athena looking out for me.

Dear Diary,

I am sad. All of my men have died. You see, diary, after escaping the wrath of the cyclops, my men and I were sailing. However, human nature got to them and they wanted to rest. Where should they pick to rest other than the island of Helios himself. I hoped with all my might that they would not touch the cattle, but alas, my hopes were crushed when I awoke the next morning to the scent of charred flesh. My men feasted and feasted and this got us cursed by the gods. We couldn't leave the island, as the storms were awful. But after six days, the cattle were gone, and my men hungry again. So we had to risk the sea, but the ship was wrecked, and I was the only survivor. I managed to drift along the sea and get to the island of the Phoeacians, who I am now requesting help from.

Journal Entry 1

I just realized I had these saved in the drafts but not published. D:

Dear diary,
Today was a good day, even though I have been cursed by Poseidon due to my own stupidity. You see, diary, I was adamant, and in my own braveness (or stupidity, whichever you prefer to call it) I decided to trick a cyclops into giving me gifts. But this failed, and my curiosity got the best of me. I was stuck with my men in his den, with no way out. But I was too smart for him! I stabbed his eye out and, blinded, he let his sheep out to graze. But they weren't normal sheep. I tied my men and myself to them, and we got away with a nice bounty of some fat and delicious sheep.

Odysseus part |V

Dear Journal,

Today might as well have been the greatest day of my life. The blood of the men that have offended me and the honor of my wife has been spilled, I am being welcomed back to my home as myself, and most of all I am fully reunited with my wife. I have seen what consequences could have been for being away this long and hope to never have to do it again.

Sincerely,

Odysseus

Odyssey part

Dear Journal,

All of the suitors are dead. i have gotten my revenge on them for thinking i am dead and trying to steal my wife. i do not feel bad for they have done bad. Although my wife did not believe me at first but i convinced her to and she now knows that it is me and our family can be happy again. Once the bodies are clear we can hold a party for the reunion of our family. i hope i never have to leave my family again.

The Odyssey. Part 4

Dear Journal,
I am victorious and filled with pride and a great sense of achievement and accomplishment. I have killed Antinous. The other myriad of suitors considered me a savage barbarian after taking such action against Antinous. But I showed them as well. My son and I have killed the rest of my wife's suitors and it was then up to me to prove to her my true identity. How was that going to be possible when she believed that I was in the form of a god? But it was proven to her when I was angered by the fact that my bed was removed and placed somewhere else. This proved to her that I was the Odysseus she knew and loved. After twenty long, hard years of being separated by a ruthless jouney that was thought to never end, I have found my heart again. It belongs to Penelope and my homeland of Ithaca.
Sincerely,
Odysseus
