Dear Journal,
I'm afraid the worst has come of me and my crew. How we went from supporting and protecting eachother against the sirens to disobeying my commands I don't know. Now they have gone against my wishes and ate the cattle of Lord Helios, leaving me a new fate. Instead of reaching Ithica safely Zeus nearly destroyed my ship as punishment for disturbing the gods. Can I blame my entire crew though? Eurylochus persuaded the weak minded to eat the cattle and to stop on this island, even after I stated the dangers of it. Either way, I desperately hoped the misfortune ended with Scylla devouring my 6 best men however now I am certain the future is even more unpromising than this. I'm in hope of reaching home now and my crew isn't going to hinder my travels, even if I have to travel alone.
Sincerely,
Odysseus
