The Odyssey by:Patrick Cronin,Christian Mietus

The odyssey began right after the Greeks defeated troy.They left the city and headed to Ithaca. They had a captain named Odysseus. They had to stop at a Island by the Mediterranean Sea. While they were on a Island they found a cyclops named Polyphemus. The cyclops usually ate goat cheese and goat milk and enjoyed human. The crew asked the cyclops a question and the cyclops trapped them in his cave until he was hungry. Then Odyssey had a plan and gave the cyclops red wine that he had got from the sea god Poseidon. When cyclops drank the wine he had fallen asleep.Odysseus took a stake and drove it into Polyphemus’s eye he was blind! Polyphemus opened the door to let his sheep out the crew members and Odysseus held on to the sheep they made it to there ship unharmed.

Odysseus was cursed by Poseidon for harming his son the curse meant that Odysseus would never find his way back to his homeland ever again in less he took the dangerous way he left the island just to be caught in a enormous storm the saw a nearby island called Aaeaa were a sorcerer lived.Her name was Circe before he could enter her palace Hermes came down from the heavens and warned him that the sorcerer loved turning men into pigs the only way of preventing her magic was to get a black molly flower Odysseus got it and ate it.Circe offered the crew members and Odysseus some wine they all took some and she turned them all to pigs except Odysseus of course Circe was so scared she changed the crew members back into humans.She let them stay in her palace as long as they wanted after about a year they left with brand new supplies she had given them with some helpful advice also she said if they wanted to make it they should pass Scylla a six headed beast that would eat six of his men instead of going passed Charybdis and lose your ship and all his men. Next the sirens were Odysseus tied him and his men to the ship so they wouldn't be tempted by there beautiful singing they pasted them then they went through a channel and went pasted the six headed beast and six men were eaten. Then they actually went to the underworld to get advice from prophet Soon enough they landed on the island of the sun which had cattle that you were not allowed to eat but eventually they ate the cattle Odysseus didn't touch the cattle but after they went to sea a huge storm hit and killed every single one of his men. Odysseus had to swim to the nearest island were Calypso a beautiful nymph lived she fell in love with him and wouldn't give him up in till Zeus ordered her to set him free. Soon after that he made it to his homeland and was finally done with this hardship.
