Odyssey part 2

This has been a terrible couple of days. We managed to escape the appealing and deathly singing of the Sirens due to my cleverness. However we were not so lucky when we came to Scylla who ate a fair amount of my crewmen. We finally came upon the final challenge when we reached Helios island filled with his cattle. I warned my men that if we go on shore they cannot eat them, but after days of starvation my men could not keep their promises and they slaughtered and killed the cattle. They received their punishment days later after they had feasted on the cattle. Zeus struck us with a great bolt while at sea and caused the death of all my remaining crewmen. So i was left alone to drift, and i drifted slowly past Scylla and to the island where Calypso resides.
