Part A: The Land of the Cyclopses

  • Odysseus and his men arrived at the land of cyclopses
  • They are known to be aggressive and rely on the immortal gods for labor
  • They live in caves and have no regard for their neighbors
  • They lack transportation or a means to get from place to place they have no ships
  • However this does not make them poor, they have rich well-watered meadows 
  • Their soil is considered so rich they would actually yield great harvests
  • Ahead of the harbor, it was incredibly dark Odysseus assumed some gods guide them through the darkness
  • No one could see the land they had no clue where they were until they hit land
  • They slept a night
  • "Dawn appeared" and they began to explore the island
  • Nymphs had disturbed a herd of goats sending them towards O's men
  • Thanks to the gods they procured some kills 9 for the crew and 10 for O
  • They drank until they hardly had any left
  • Across the land, they could hear the Cyclopses voices and the sound of their goats
  • Sunset and they decide to rest on the shore
  • Rosy fingered Dawn appeared again and O gathered his men and told some to stay as they were going to find out who was up ahead
  • They assembled in the boat and rowed to the nearby shore where they found a cave
  • There were large herds of sheep and goats and there they saw a giant

  Hello, My name is Wesley Williams and I am a biology pre-dentistry major. The coolest thing about my major is that I only had to take Calculus and not go any further in math. One of the best classes I took last semester was Indian Epics. I enjoyed taking Epics it was the most fun class had during a hectic schedule last semester. Being able to create and control my schedule as well as the structure of the class, in general, made it very enjoyable. One of my biggest accomplishments last semester was going finishing the semester with a 4.0 in a total of 19 hours. A few of my favorite TV shows are Snowfall, Breaking Bad, Money Heist, and Power. A couple of my favorite movies are Blue Streak, Juice, Paid in Full, and American Assassin. Some of my favorite music artists are Juice Wrld, Polo G, Money Man, and Rod Wave. I listen to a lot of different artists but those are a few that I am currently listening to a lot. Since I am editing my old introduction post another artist I am currently l

Art replied, “Yes, I have thought long and hard about this and want my sword returned to sea as I part ways with this earth.” Tomas left to the other side of the forest where the sea was and decided to hide the sword in a bush instead of getting rid of it.
