31 Munychion, 1111BC: Well, dear reader, this account will conclude this stage of my adventures with Odysseus. I learnt of the barbarity and savagery of the cyclops, which made me feel grateful to be a civilised being. The experience also reinforced to me the brilliance of my great leader Odysseus, it was his cunning team plan that allowed many of us to escape the beast (with a beautiful flock of sheep as well!).
I can only wonder what lies ahead on the open sea for our crew. Surely after twenty years of fighting in Troy and troubles returning back to Ithaca, Zeus will grant us a safe journey home. There was a rumour going around that Poseidon will take vengeance on us for blinding one of his sons, but I am sure the gods feel they have punished us enough already.
Besides, how big a grudge can one god hold?
