My retelling project is called whats in the bag.  It is a modern day retelling of Odysseus and his men after they leave from injuring the Cyclops.  They stop at the Island of Aeolia and Odysseus meets the King of winds Aeolus. Aeolus gives Odysseus a bag of wind to speed up thier trip back to Ithaka. Odysseus's men opens the bags as he sleeps and they are blown off course ending up back where they started.
