Did Not Want To Stop It
The movie "Odyssey" was very good. I did not want to stop it. Odysseus had a son on the same day that he was called to war. Before he left he told Penelope( his wife)that she should remarry when his son had grown a beard. He went and fought in the Trojan war for ten years and then he told the god Poisedon that he had won the war without the gods. So Poseidon curses him to roam the seas until he realizes that humans are nothing without gods. He then goes to the Island of the Cyclops but does not know that the Cyclops is there. He goes into a cave and he eats goat cheese which was common for the time. He also drinks wine and gets the Cyclops drunk. He stabs him in his one eye. Odysseus goes on to fight a witch but ends up taking her to bed. He stays with the witch for five years. He then goes to the underworld and finds the old prophet who tells him how to get to Ithaca his home. He sets out on the journey again when his ship is attacked by a three headed monster. Before he can catch his breath he is attacked by a tidal pool monster who eats the ship. Odysseus catches a branch but later falls and floats to and island with Calypso and her virgin nymphs. He stays there for two years and then goes to sea again. He sees Poisedon and tells him that he understands. Poisedon then lets him go to his home and kill all of the men who were staying there. He is soon reunited with his wife and they live happily ever after.
