Odysseus has been gone for about 17 years now. He is later in his voyage home. Odysseus had just watched 4 of his men get eaten by Polyphemus the cyclops. He ate them like a man that hasn’t ate in years. Odysseus escaped by the bottom of the sheep after stabbing the cyclops in the eye. Odysseus made him blind.
After his adventure on the island of the cyclopes, Odysseus had traveled into unknown waters. The waters were bright and looked gorgeous from ahead, little specs of a moving animal could be seen from ahead. As they approached closer the little specs were humans, but not fully. These humans were beautiful and strong. Yet they had some sort of fish tail for their bottom portion. They were Poseidon's mermaids. Men and women, young and old
