HUMA 1105 Lecture 2: The Story of Adonis - Assignment 3
Document Summary
But now we must travel again through these dreadful seas to go back home, unsure of what the future holds. However, i"m excited to return home and see my family. Currently, we have been at sea for about 30 days ever since we escaped the. Cyclops"s cave where we were nearly eaten alive: we soon arrived at aeolia island where the keeper of wind, aeolus, stays. He gave us a bag of wind, which was created by zephyr blowing into a bag, and the plan was to use the wind to get us home much quicker (10. 25-27). But one of our foolish crew members opened the bag of wind, mistaking it for silver and gold: a powerful gust of wind was formed. I grabbed onto the railing of the ship and closed my eyes, as i prayed, i would not fall off the ship. The wind sent us back in the opposite direction, back to aeolus"s island.
