Odyssey 2

A detailed Summary of Odyssey 2

A man named Odysseus was on his way to capture City of Troy. He kissed his wife and hugged her in his most love kind of way because of him leaving. He told her that if he was not to come before his son had become at the age of a man than that she, his wife, should get married again. When he was leaving, his child was just born. He hugged his mom and told her not to worry. He looked at his son and kissed him on the cheek and told him to take care of his mother in a sort of laughing matter. He went off with his men and started going towards City of Troy. They had a plan where they would make a horse, with them being inside of it and then giving the horse as a gift to the city. That is what they did and then at night when everyone was drunk and sleeping, Odysseus and his men got out of the Trojan Horse and then started killing them. They had taken over City of Troy and that was something that when people tried doing, but they would never return. He did this and then when he was about to leave he was told by the Water that he would not ever return home because of such a thing he did. He would be sailed out into the sea but never return home again. Odysseus was astonished by this and was angered. He screamed ou

At this time, his wife and his mother were at home and his little son was running around playing with a bow and arrow. His wife was telling his mother that she was still going to wait and his mother was still in a sad mood. The mother said he would never return and started going towards the shore. The wife cried and tried stopping her, but she said that if her son couldn't come to me that she was going to him in the water. She then died in the shore as she was going right into the water. His wife cried and cried, but that really didn't do her any good.

Now Odysseus came to a place where his men started getting angered at him and said they wanted food and started wandering around the areas of that island by himself. He stayed there with a couple of other men who decided to stay with him. After a couple of hours a pig started running towards them and then one of his men told Odysseus that that was one of his men. He said a witch turned that man and his other men into animals, but he managed to get away. He said she was a witch. When Odysseus was going towards where her place was, a fairy came and said she was expecting him and for him, Odysseus, to eat this grass which will make her not turn him into an animal. Odysseus ate it and when he went there, she tried to make him into an animal, but saw that she couldn't. She told him she would turn them all into men if he would sleep with her in bed. It was an offer he could not say no so he did do this. Then those animals turned into his men and then the witch started telling her slaves, which were women to entertain for them. When Odysseus woke up he told his men to hurry and get up. He said it's been a day and they have to leave. Then he left with the witch in sorrow. When he got to where his ship was he noticed it was coved by land and dug down way deep. That is when he knew that the witch's cave was a curse. He had wasted ten full years, but felt like just one day.

Odysseus had gone through many things and by the time Odysseus's men had all died. Odysseus was sailing towards a mountain island and when he got there he was greeted by all women. They were all shy and they had never seen a man before. Then a woman who was the leader of the place started showing some passion towards Odysseus. Next thing you know he was with her also. He then told her he had to leave back towards his own city. She said there was wood in the back of the hill and he could make a boat out of it. And so he did and he built it. By the time he started moving towards another city his wife was almost ready to marry someone. She made the men do things like fight to see who would come out at the end etc. Then Odysseus started sailing again. This time he came upon an island that the kind said he, Odysseu
