"Od.10,80*" "There wasn't time to loose, and I retreat, but in the harbour.." "..we saw the giant Lestrigonians throwing huge rocks on our ships destroying them." "People tried to escape by swimming but they were hunted down by the tridents like fish." " And how did you escape?" " They couldn't reach me.." "..because I stayed out of the harbour." " Only your ship remained?" "In the end, yes." "We were the last company." "After the demise of the others, I became even more dear to them,.." "..because they grew up with me, we were friends from childhood." "Today they are only names." "Euriloch, my cousin."

"..storm would cast us away to roam again.." "..till the next storm enrages the sea,.." "..and I'll remember that till the end of my life." "It was like.." ".. some invisible giant hand, throwing the ship to the bottom of the abyss." "You are the great king Odysseus, but still you are only a man." "And according to what you are saying it seems you are a man who tries.." "..to succeed alone with reason." "Lets ask the gods for us and you Odysseus.." "..maybe we find our answers and you find your answers." "*sounds of seagulls, sea and wind*" "Sacrifices give answer." "What answer?" "Unfavorable." "My people is scared." "It couldn't interpret.." "..so you'll." " Not me." "I know that Athena was.." "..always near me during fight in Troy,.." "..thus with her beside me, I always knew what to do." "But when I was at sea I would hear voices of the gods." "Maybe thus is my heart restless and I want to know more." "Why are you hiding about your voyage?" "Why are you asking about it?" "You have survived many things,and you have much.." "..suffered.We realize that as soon you have arrived.." "..and we show you our compassion." "But if it is god.."

"..prolonged." "I didn't know what to do." "3 more who won't see Ithaca again!" "They must have fallen into a trap in this savage land." "*wind blows*" "Odysseus, we should take a distance from the shores before the night falls." "If you are afraid, I'll go search for your shipmates." "I didn't wish to impose my will, I couldn't manage like in Troy,.." "..where I had warriors beside me, not people that are scared for their lives." "Only by own example I could reestablish myself as a leader." " And did they follow?" " Three friends we have lost,.." "..and if we would abandoned them to their fate, that would mean that we are united only in fear." "Fear for our wn survival, fear which isn't friendly.." "..but only our enemy."

"*sound of mills*" "I have already prepared myself to see my men.." "..killed or in danger, but instead they sit there among blackskin people.." "..behaving strangely and dressed as natives." "Why didn't you return to the ship?" "Because of this?" "Odysseus, what are you afraid of?" "They offered us their hospitality even they don't know the laws of Zeus." "Nature teaches them that, The lotus flower grows.." "..and they make sweet powder from it." "Taste, taste it!" "It makes you forget everything like we never need to go from Ithaca." "Who waits for us there anyway?" "Who remembers us?" "Your father Egyptius, remember him." "Remember your bride that you have left.." "..one month before marriage." "She may raise you a son one day." "My father is old or dead, my brides sleep with another," "And my son, even if I had brothers, they wouldn't recognize me!" "What kind of father am I?" "People only find new troubles,.." "..so why then taking risk again?" " Even at home suffering awaits us." "Eat this lotus." "We'll stay in peace forever." "Truly, some divinity brought us into this land." "*i.e. land of Lotuseaters*" "As I live,I won't let someone forget his home." "Don't listen to him..." "Take them to a ship!" "I order you to take them!" "Tie them!" "Don't listen to them. hey are out of their mind!" "*lament and moan*" "We found people like us." "As I understand, all what happened.." "..is that there is a flower which removes memory or wish for it and the past." "Still, seeing those friends, I dreamt about returning.." "..and because of the stretching of the ship I have the feeling.." "..that winds, currents and forces beyond us.." "..already have drawn us away from known sea routes." "We sailed for 18 days.."

"..go to sea." "Is it possible that they never get there?" "Do they avoid these lands or something hid them?" " But we did manage to get here." " Yes, but why?" "Many unexplainable things happened.." "..since we left Troy in flames:" "quarrel among the heroes,.." "..disperse of the fleet, unnatural winds and storms.." "..which cast us away from any known seas." "I don't know Euriloch where we are heading." "I say that to you in confidence.." "..but I beg you not to tell the others." "You must unite us Odysseus." "So few have remain of us."

"Look!" " Where?" "There, that's smoke." "The reassembly squad and we should return backward." "Why?" "Without to find out.." "..who lives here?" "You return alone." "I am scared." "And beside that who can live on this island?" "Some lonely savage." "Please Odysseus, lets go." "Why didn't you loose the arrow?" "What are you thinking?" " About that man." " Why worrying about him?" "Maybe he knows something we don't, but..." "you think that he is a savage,.." "..maybe, but even a savage deserves that we visit him." "He is also a man." "We want to walk beside him without to find.." "..something about him and without exchange of gifts." "*dramatic music*" "Whats this?" "This isn't a human footprint!" " Some giant." " Or god." " Or monster,.." "..Odysseus, I beg you to sail away ASAP or we'll regret." "Yes, but maybe we'll be guests to some god." "I procceed with the 12 most bravest men." "I thought.." "..that we are strong enough to resist any challenge." "The rest I left to protect the ship and make him ready." "We followed the footprints." "I brought some vessels and full sacks of wine."
