Book 20

Man, i could not go to sleep last night! besides the hard floor, and the cold wind, i was anxious for the fight. I am scared that not only might we not be able to beat the suitors, but i might lose my only son, and at my/Penelope's age i think he will be our last son too. A fine woman came and comforted me saying that with the gods, anything can happen.

Book 17

(Telemakhos) Today i woke up, and i have decided hat i a tired of people pushing me around. I did not go on my great journey to come back the same way i was, and i need to give a good impression on my dad. So i told everyone what to do in the morning, and went to see my mother, and my maids. When Penelope saw me she was so happy, but i remembered my plan, and told her to get dressed and pray to the gods because of my safe return. I am starting to like this way of life. As i told my dad before, he came later in the dad as a beggar, to see which of the suitors were kindhearted. Every single suitor except for Antinoos, gave him bread, and Antinoos gave him chair in the shoulder. I was so mad. My dad, although fought with his mind instead of attacking, and that is a good thing...

Book 16

Today was the happiest day of my life. Today, i saw my son for the first time in 20 years. I kept thinking about how i was going to hate parenting and all those responsibilities, but as soon as i saw him, everything else in this world went to blank. I stopped thinking about everything else but my love for my child. I had no idea that a love for a child could be so tremendous as he is to me. I now realize that i made the right choice in coming home.

Book 12

So after i left Kirke, we went out on a journey home. I don't know what i what to do, do i want to go home to my family and responsibility or should i stay out here. I know the choice is there but i really have put it far back into my mind. I am scared that t will come out and force me to choose, because honestly i don't know what i am going to do, and that is frightening. Generally people want to go home to their family but i don't think i want to...

Book 11

Yo, Odysseus here. More story time... So as Kirke told us to do, we went to the land of Death. The first person we met was one of my crewmates who had fallen off of Kirke's roof after becoming drunk. He begged me to go back and give him a proper burial. I also met some war heroes like Agamemnon, who was killed by his wife, Ajax (he didn't talk to me) who is still mad that i got Achilles' armor insted of him, and Achilles. They all ask about relative from up above, they started to swirl round and round me, and i started to freak. I mean what would you do if you had a bunch of angry ghosts swirling around you. Pretty scary! So i made a run for it, got to the ship, and sailed away.

Book 10

Odysseus again... Not really much to say, but i will tell you a story while i am online. So after the war, and before Kalypso, you know that i battled a cyclops, but there is another big thing that happened. So we landed on this island, i stayed on the boat, but some of my shipmates went exploring. Turns out, they find a cottage, in which, a witch lives (tongue twister). Everyone except for one person goes inside, and they get trapped by her spell. The one man who didn't go in went back to get me. I decided that i was going to go and get my men back! On the way there, i was stopped by Hermes, who gave me advice. So i walked a little further and found her cottage. I went inside and found her, she was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. I see now why my men were able to be trapped by her. So, i talked to her, she tried to entrance me, i refused and stuck a sword to her throat, and she agreed to let my men go.

Book 9

So i told the king who i was. As most of you out there know it is a pretty interesting story. Aside from being in a war that lasted for like 20 years, i have raided villages, almost taken captive by natives who's main weapon is powerful fruit. So i had to tie down some of my entranced shipmates so they would leave the island. Then of course the Cyclops. For all the people out there that don't know this story, i will tell it now. Well so we were hungry so we went into this cyclops' cave to find food, turns out we get trapped by him. Which requires us to find a way to get out. So, one thing leads to another, and there is Polyphemus lying on the ground blinded, and we are riding underneath his rams to the outdoors. I know, crazy right. Well we got to the ship and i decided to taunt our "host" a bit. Turns out the "host" who i was taunting can throw bolders half the size of our ship. Yep, so he throws one, almost hits the boat (luckily he is blind) and we get a little splashed. My crewmates freak out and say "oh it was a tital-wave and tell me to stop taunting. So i did, and only when i was far enough away did i taunt more, and told him my name, which came back to bit me later.

Book 8

Hey everyone, Odysseus again. It looks like I a going to be getting back to my family soon. Alcinous called an assembly to get sailors to help me return home. It was approved and now I have a ship and some sailors to get me home, but first Alcinous wanted to have a feast. In which there was singing, dancing and games in honor of me. I cried during a song about the war of Troy, which was pretty embarrassing, but the King saw me and ended the feast so the games could begin. At first I was planning not to participate in the games, but some athletes like Broadsea wanted to see what I was made of, yea, I owned them. Later in the night there was more music about Aphrodite cheating on Hephaistos with Ares, where I cried again of the sorrows of war, and this time the King had questions...

Book 3

Hey! what is up people! I am really starting to like this blog thing, 'cause without it i would have to be sending out so many letters to all my friends so they could know how I am doing on my little aventure. Well, speaking of adventure i talked to a few people about my father today, woot. I first came onto this fortress, docked my boat to let my crewmates ashore. I think they went into a bar and they are probably drunk right now. Well anyways, I talked to some man named Nestor. Turns out he knew about my dad. Supposedly after they pillaged Troy, there was a dissagreement between Agamemnon and Menelaos, Agamemnon wanted to stay and give praises to the gods, for letting them win the fight. And Menelaos wanted to just leave and get back to his family. So Nestor left with Menelaos  and my father, stayed with Agamemnon to give thanks to Athena and Zeus. So I got a new lead to my fathers' whereabouts, as long as he is not in Hades. *Sob*. I shouldn't even think like that. But honestly, i don't think he is still alive. Well, I will take the lead i have and go find Menelaos tomorrow and find out what happened to my dad and where!

Book 4

Hey it is Telemakhos, and I am laying here in my luxury bed, getting my feet bathed and massaged. and i am getting a backrub. Let me take you back to how i got into this state of being... It all started when i said we should go see Menelaus. Well we walked for awhile until we got to his house, or should i say FULL-SIZED 60 ROOMED CASTLE!!! First of all, with out being asked our names, Menelaus took us in, bathed us, and gave us rooms to sleep in. Without even asking our names, talk about luxury. I then went with Nestor's son to the banquet hall, and you will not believe what i saw. The largest, i mean LARGEST dinner buffet i have ever seen, I mean, there was a Cow on the table right in front of me, along with a whole garden of vegetables. So i sat down, and that is when i started to hear about my father and how great of a guy he was. You know, i was so proud of my dad, that i started to cry. Right in front of the king. Talk about embarassing! So ya, crazy day, all to be let up to a good night sleep. Say, I wonder how my mommy is handling those suitors. I hope she is laying down the law and getting them off our property!

Book 2

This morning, i woke up with new vigor. I can finally say that i am Odysseus' son! I woke up and decided to make a speech to my fellow suitors to see if they will embark with me on a quest to find my father! So i had a great speech about the need to find my father, Odysseus, right, and when i was done all the suitors were like, "Yo man, its your moms fault we are here, she tricked us." So after my amazing speech, they just threw me back down with insults! They then started to talk about my mom in bad ways, and i guess zeus heard them, and sent down two eagles that wreaked some serios havok on the suitors. I tried to explain to them that that was a sign of Zeus, and that they should do what i say, but they just said, "No, Birds do random stuff." Like ever single day bird come down from they sky and start attacking you! I mean, do we like live in different places or something, 'cause I've never seen an eagle come down and attack people for now reason! I had to sit down for a while to clear my head and plan my next speech, but when i stood up, the words flowed from my mouth, and i actually felt like my father, where people listen to me. I asked them for a ship with 20 crewmates, and sure enough all of the hard work payed off 'cause i had a full ship, and after some beer and food we were off to find my father!

Book 1

Hey everybody this is Telemakhas, and I'm going to try out this new blog thing. Hmmm, so lets see what i did today... Well the day started off as usual, the suitors were in my house partying it up. How was I ever going to get rid of these suitors? All they ever do is eat all my stuff and they never listen to me and always disrespect me. If only my father were her, boo hoo. Well, speaking of my father, a fine family friend came in today to my house asking for Odysseus and wanting to know what all this partying was about. I tried to tell him about how my father was dead, but he wouldn't listen to me and kept telling me he was alive on some island, and that I should go find him. Well it is now getting late and the suitors are filtering out the door. I am watching them leave from my bedroom. I'm getting tired so i will talk to you tomorrow, maybe tomorrow i will finally man up, and get these suitors out of my house! lol...
