I, the captain, have learned much from mistakes my crewmen had much yet disobeyed. Following Circe's warnings were difficult but yet I had chosen to follow them; not to journey to the island of the sun. However, my crewmen had not. They had disobeyed my orders of not sacrificing cattle, though they knew the consequences that were destined to happen if they had. Zeus has kept his promise: by punishing them, he sent down one white-hot bolt, striking our ship. Astonished I was. Me losing many more of my men, caused by a suffering death. All in all, this feeling that I have, leaves me to wonder if this was a becoming of my own decisions. If only had I done more to restrict them from sacrificing the cattle. But many more days will come, and more challenges that me and my men will face.
Sincerely,
Oddyseus
