In this epic Odysseus the king of Ithaca and his men are on their way home after the ten-year Trojan war. But this journey takes another ten years. In his journey he visits the island-city of Aeolia. The king of Aeolia welcomed him and said I have a present for you. He took him and led himself to brass corridors. Inside there was a bag with seven chords. The king explained “Last week Zeus the father of all gods quarrelled with posideon the sea god. To punish him he captured his eight winds and stored it in this bag.” He released one of his winds. ]]> 2021-04-23 14:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/trishil2020/ysm4gkf7fwzy3988/wish/1451967074 trishil2020 https://padlet.com/trishil2020/ysm4gkf7fwzy3988/wish/1452042920 He reached his ship and when his men asked what is there in the bag captain? He said it is treasure. Dare anyone touch it. Eurylochus one of his crew member kept wondering for ten days and ten nights asking his unanswerable questions to the men around him. He did not dare to ask Odysseus. He waited for Odysseus fall asleep. After some time Odysseus felt at last “Someone take this tiller I must sleep I can’t stay awake at this moment.” The people of Ithaca saw their ships. Eurylochus went to the place where Odysseus was sleeping and he loosened just one of the seven cords of the bag. ]]> 2021-04-23 14:46:49 UTC https://padlet.com/trishil2020/ysm4gkf7fwzy3988/wish/1452042920 trishil2020 https://padlet.com/trishil2020/ysm4gkf7fwzy3988/wish/1452077818 The winds roared, the people on the shore of Ithaca rubbed their eyes. They thought they had spotted a fleet of eleven black ships but now there was nothing. Above it the sky filled with rain clouds and the whole ocean was crumpled into mountainous waves. The eleven black ships, like splintered shards began to spin away. Odysseus was thrown off the bag. The oars wrenched down as the fleet was driven at the mercy of the eight winds. The hot south winds burned their skins and the cold north wind froze their hands. The winds dragged Odysseus fleet three times around the ocean somewhere in the darkness below. Poseidon felt his powers restored to him.
