The journey home was no easy task, with all the obstacles and such. The sea god Poseidon was not ready to allow me to pass over his watery domain so easily. He struck me with a horrible storm, destroying my raft and all. Without the help of Athena and a sea nymph, I never would have arrived on the island of Scheria. When I did arrive however, I hid myself in a pile of leaves and fell into a deep sleep. I am found by the daughter of Alcinous, and taken to be a guest at court. I asked them for a song for myself. As they played the song, it made me weep in remembrance of all of my companions that will never be able to see their homes again. It is then that I begin to feel peace within myself and I am so happy to be back home. After the song, I am asked to identify myself, it is then that I begin to tell them the story of my journey.

No way was I going to let you by so easy! Your lucky you even made it through. Without the help of Athena and that nasty sea nymph, you would be dead!

It sounds like you had quite the trip down here, sorry I wasn't there to help. Luckily Athena was there to guide you.
