May 6: The Odyssey

Minutes: 45

Pages: ?

Summary: Circe had warned them about the Island of the Sun God, Helios. On the island, Helios had cows that he held sacred. "Anyone who ate of them", Circe had said, "would have to face the wrath of Helios." This command seemed easy enough to follow... until sometime had passed and they hadn't eaten. One of the crew members convinced the rest of the crew to eat a cow while Odysseus slept. When Odysseus found out, he was furious. Helios got Zeus to attack the ships with lightning bolts. All the men died one way or another, accept Odysseus who drifted to Calypso's Island where he stayed for some time. After that he got to Phaecia where the story ends.

Reflection: When it is summed up so succinctly, it is kinda boring.
