In my opinion Odysseus is very heroic. Not only was he brave enough to go to war. Well, now that I think about it he was technically forced to. But he was still brave ,which is an important quality to have in a hero. My name is Cora for your information. Not to mention he is physically impressive. Right now I am mentally preparing myself for some raid that we've got to do. Short story our ship crashed and now we're here. Odysseus isn't scared of anything. He's basically a god. He's very heroic for wanting to go raid a place we've never been too.

The moment I saw that hideous thing not only was I slightly amazed but, also filled with fear. "I'm a soldier for Zeus's sake," I thought to myself. We "felt a pressure on our hearts, in dread." as Odysseus would rather say. I couldn't imagine the things that the creature was capable of doing. It seemed like Odysseus and I were one. Feeling the same. I predict, therefore, that Odysseus will, in fact, save us. He needs his men. I know he's going to come up with some sort of strategic plan. He's like that for sure. He's very intelligent. I'm just hoping that Cyclops doesn't feast on all of us , well do Cyclops even eat humans?

Is Odysseus an effective leader? 50-50. He saved us. Thank Zeus that we escaped that place. The only reason we escaped was because of Odysseus in the first place. It's so depressing that my best friend Gerald got eaten. He was my BBDASEF Best Buddy during a scary experience. I'm wailing right now. I have a feeling we'll be reuniting soon though, "Should destiny intend that he shall see his roof again among his family in his fatherland, far be that day and dark the years between. Let him lose all his companions." Didn't that leave me shivering to make matters EVEN worse our leader the "Great Odysseus" just had to keep on yapping his mouth out. If that hadn't been enough we got a legit piece of land thrown at us. We tried to stop him but he let his rage get the best of him and decided to take matters into his own hands. At least he showed a bit of care for us. I heard my other companions say to him "Why bait the beast again? Let him alone!" "Aye, he'll smash our timbers and our heads together!" Oh wait I said that.

If I'm being honest I think this is the happiest I've ever been in my whole life. Like I'm stuck on an island with a goddess and the best part is that I get great food every day. I honestly wasn't afraid of her like most of my buddies since she's a woman I regretted underestimating her though, she turned us all into pigs. One moment I'm eating some scrumptious snacks and then the next I get turned into a legit pig, man... A pig of all animals. I think she has a problem with men whatever her backstory is:/ Odysseus is still a decent leader I definitely lost all my admiration for him. We could be staying here for the rest of my life and I'd still be feeling the same. That didn't make sense. I don't know about Odysseus though, he has a wife and a child. On the other hand, I don't think he cares. I saw those two giggling all and about and getting all touchy with each other. What a scumbag.

I'm pretty sure this is the most scared I've ever been. My buddies and I were just on the boat oaring and suddenly we saw this weird whirlpool-shaped thing with sharp teeth. I'm pretty sure Odysseus warned us that we would go against some monsters but I didn't feel like paying attention so I don't know the full details. Anyways the whirlpool-shaped thing started making the water go crazy. And that's when we knew we were in massive trouble. Odysseus's version of the story is "...when I saw smoke and white water, with sound of waves in tumult a sound the men heard, and it terrified them." If that wasn't enough we ended up running to this weird-looking creature. It was a woman with 6 snake heads and she just appeared out of nowhere. And that's when she took 6 of my buddies each for a head it was very hard for me but I'm pretty sure it was hard for Odysseus too "...whisking six of my men from the ship, I happened to glance aft at ship and oarsmen and caught sight of their arms and legs, dangling high overhead." My friends may they be remembered. I don't think I'm going to be alive for long either.
