Song of Spheres
One of Odyssesus men’s point of view
It all started at the sandbank. Everything about that island gave off a bad vibe. We went straight to Circe’s island. When we got there Odysseus went straight to Circe and told her everything that happened on the island. I couldn’t hear quite well but I did hear Circe telling Odysseus that there were several trials he had to go through until he would find the island of the sun god perian. She went on talking about the events Odyssues would go through on his journey, such as a six headed dragon named skilla who would kill six of his crew members. When I heard this I got really nervous. My palms started to sweat and all I could wonder was if I would be one of the men who is killed. I would talk to Odysseus but he didn’t really care about his crew, only about him returning home. In the morning, we went on our way. We passed the daughter’s of the muse and Odysseus insisted we pass by so he could listen to the music. He made us cover our ears. He started screaming but all I could see and hear was him mouthing words. We continued on and all Odysseus could hear was a song. He was distracted while we tried to keep the boat afloat. He called this song “the song of the spheres”.
