After a long time at war, we were finally trying to sail home to Ithaca, but Zeus did not agree and sent a storm towards us. Odysseus tried to keep us safe from the raging storm and docked us somewhere safe from the wind. I managed to stay quiet for about half of the first day we were docked, but I soon began to get anxious and hungry. “Odysseus, when do you think we can eat something?” I asked.
