      Odysseus was a great legendary man, he was   happily married to 

Penelope,who had gave birth to their first son Telemachus. Odysseus

 was an intelligent military   commander,ruler and a master of

 appearance and voice. He was well known for been a great

 commander and for the ten years it had   took him to return back home after the

 long deathly Trojan War and his famous Trojan Horse who he used to

 capture the city of Troy.

               Odysseus and his men lived on a island of Ithaca. He has

 been away from his home ,fighting a war. After the battle between 

Troy, Odysseus stated to his men " Yes finally able to sail back home."

 They where pretty excited to return home, but it was going to be a 

long   trip that it might had taken months to get back . 

       During the trip Odysseus had plenty of adventures in out-taking

  monsters and goddesses.

      After all those crazy and amazing adventures, and seeing many 

strange lands, Odysseus and his men had recked   on the first island which was the 

ones

  of the Cyclops. One of Odysseus men stated " these is were the wild and lawless 

race

 of giants are!". Cyclops where giants which each of whom had only one great eye in 

the

 middle of their for-head.  

    Exploring the mysterious island , something had caught their

 attention, from the distance they felt the vibration on the ground as if in

earthquake had hit the land. Trembling with fear they walked and walked

until they found a great high cave.

     Entering the cave, Odysseus and his men decided to wait for the owner to

come, as time passed by he appeared. Their faces where dumb-founded on how

 large and fierce he   was, they would gladly had run off; but the giant decided to roll a

 huge rock against the mouth of the cave so they wouldn't escape.

    While the giant was gone, Odysseus decided to make a plan to escape. He had 

found a stick in the cave; which he sharpened into a point and hardened it in the fire.

 When the giant returned Odysseus decided to give the giant some medicine that they

 had carried with them. After the giant took it, he was sleeping like a little baby,so

 Odysseus took the chance on stabbing the sharp stick into his one eye to blind him.

 The next morning Odysseus and his men got out of the cave and had escaped safely.

    After leaving the land of the Cyclops, Odysseus decided to sail to

 Aelous Island,who is the goddess of winds. Arriving their, Aelous

 handed him a brown bag"This only contains the winds of heaven not 

 the winds that would lead you home" declared Aelous.

   With the bag that was given to him, him and his men sailed for days,

 until they reached a nearby land, that which he saw people on shore.

    Later the night while Odysseus was   sleeping, he's man where curious on

what was the great present that Aelous gave him, so they secretly opened it,

when out of the blue all the winds of heaven started   leaping out from the bag.

       Storms started raging above their heads, pounding as hard as knuckles hitting a

 punching bag. The thunder ended up washing them away across the sea, until 

they reached the island of Aeolus from which they had departed after Aeolus

 decided not to help them. 

     Next Odysseus came to the island of an enchantress named Circe.In that land

 some of Odysseus men where transformed into swine by her. But his bravery and 

with the help of the god Hermes, Odysseus had declared to her to change them back into

 men again. Odysseus and his men lived with Circe   for a whole year, and well at last

they set to sail again."Wait!" exclaimed Circe . " You have to go down to the world of dead in

order to get safely back home."So they did.
