The Cyclops

I finally got a nap in before we hit the next island. I woke up and saw Odysseus and his men already gone. Well that was a bummer! I’m guessing they didn’t need my help. It helped me a lot because I was about tired of helping out with stuff I didn’t learn about yet. I’m only an assistant nurse!

I suddenly hear a loud noise and saw Odysseus and his men came running back to the ship with sheep in their hands. After, I see this big one eyed Cyclops running after them. Odysseus, being the cocky man he is, had to say something to the Cyclops before we had life and that’s what started the whole conflict with Poseidon.

The Lotus Eaters

We’ve landed on another island today and it looked quite empty. A few of Odysseus men got off the ship to see if there were any interesting creatures that they’ll find, but instead the found a flower, a lotus flower. We were waiting for the men to return to hear good news. The mean returned, but not with news that we wanted to hear. They ate the flower!

After the few men ate the flower they were suffering from not remembering their homeland. I wonder if Odysseus thinks that I could help them remember. I hope not. Instead of them wanting to go back to Ithaca to their family they wanted to stay on the island.

Today, the men wanted to have a little fun and I just knew I was going to get off the ship to do something. The men were eating sheep (the nastiest thing I’ve ever seen). To my knowledge the men were drunk and were acting like fools. Falling all over the place and acting like they didn’t have any sense. Odysseus was getting embarrassed I would say.

I had to go retrieve the men; orders from Odysseus. They wanted to stay on the land and didn’t want to get back on the ship. Odysseus called my name and told me to come one. Suddenly, the warriors of the island came out and were ready to fight the men. I tried to call the men back to the ship, but they didn’t listen.
