Book 9: New Coast and Posideon's Son

Just when I though I was off the hook, King Alkinoos asked me to share the tales of my travels with all the Phiaikian guests and the party, don't get me wrong, I am not ashamed of those stories, I just prefer not to recount them more then needed. But really, for all those dear people had given to me in the past 24 hours couldn't possibly have meant more to me, so it was all that I could to to repay them. Oh, shoot, I guess now I have to share those stories with you. Well, the damage is already done I guess...

Upon setting off from Troy a wicked wind swept us to the island of Ismaros, upon where the hostile locals and a blazing strom from Zeus chased us frar away from their island. We then came upon Lotos Eaters, harmless, docile natives who only offered us some of their delicious plant, so much in fact, that we sat upon that island for days wanting nothing more then to stay exactly where we were and eat nothing but those honeyed Lotos plants, after escaping that bizarre island, we encountered possibly the msot frightening leg of our journey, Kyklopes. Frightening creatures they are, one-eyed beasts...we opt to stay out of their way for most of the time in the island, however my men and I had long since run out of food and somehow they convinced me to attept to snatch some food away from those horrendous creatures (maybe I had too much wine, but who knows). Now this is where the story gets scary, the Kyklopes that inhabited that cave was the son of Poseidon (remember him, the angry God who has taken a strange disliking to me?). Anyway, the Kyklopes then imprisons us in his cave (there seems to be a lot of imprisonment going on so far hasen't there??) and devours two of my men!! Now knowing that only the Kyklopes is strong enought to move the massive boulder keeping my remaining men and I from escaping, we devise a plan...So this is where it gets good, we give the monsterous brute an endless supply of wines from the ship, so much in fact, that he is so drunk that he collapses heavily on the ground. Seizing this rare chance, I drive a red hot rod into the eye of the Kyklopes, eventually blinding him and leaving him writhing in pain yelling" Nohbdy had tricked me!!" (Nohbdy=what I told him my name was) to all that can hear him.
That is all I can recall about my wanderings, but i do remember hearing a rumor that Poseidon made a promise to his son the he would gain revenge on me for what he did to his son....

Alas, that is all I can say for now
Good Day
Odysseus
