We land on the island of Aeolus, the wind king, and we stay with him for a month. When we leave him he graces us with two parting gifts. One was a very appreciated west wind blow towards Ithica and the other was a great bag holding all the unfavorable , stormy winds. One night as Odysseus is sleeping, one of his men naively open up the bag releasing the winds and throwing our ship back to Aeolus' island. He refuses to help us again believing that our voyage has now been cursed by the Gods. So we continue without further help....
We eventually land on Circe's island. She sits inside singing and weaving peacefully. We stood outside pondering the outcomes of the decisions we would make. We finally decided to step inside, all of us except Eurylochus. He believed that Circe's beautiful voice had be a trick..and that it was. Once we entered she fed the men wine, Odysseus was immune to it for he had eaten the Moly plant, given to him by a God. The men were then turned into swine, all except Odysseus and I, (of coarse I wasnt, given the fact that Im attached to Odysseus' head.) But anyways we walk in and the men are turned into swine...etc... so when Circe finds out that Odysseus is immune to her poison she is shocked and stunned. She then understands that he is Odysseus. She finds it unbelievable but she thinks he's more of a challenge now. She tries to sleep with him but he doesn't cave into her seductiveness, (Kudos Odysseus.) So with his men turned into swine he tries to make them men again. Eventually he is successful at doing so and we leave Circes island after one whole year. Circe warns Odysseus about the struggles that lay ahead, but only me and Odysseus hear. He never informs his men about any of the struggles but the sirens. So we continued through our journey anticipating the dangerous monsters that we shall encounter in the future, sitting there, peacefully on his head, the wind blowing and hearts racing, I sit there and anticipate our next move....
