The Way to the cyclops homestead
We rowed our way to the land, Two of my men were lacking in strength and held back the other men so I threw them overboard. That will teach the lazy men.
When we reached the land the we made land near a cliff face where a cave was embedded in the cliffs, I soon noticed this was a home to one of these creatures, as a huge yard was outside the the cliff, in which looked like a huge yard for his sheep. But this yard had no sheep in it.
We took the boats onshore, in which i left my men there, and chose the 12 strongest to accompany me to meet the creatures. I took wine, which was in goatskin as a gesture to the huge creatures we were about to meet. That wine was a gift to me, so they better take the gifts in good faith...
We approached the cave carefully but then we noticed no creature at home and assumed he was out shepherding his sheep. We saw the tons of cheese and all the young lambs and kids. A few of my men has some silly idea to steal all the cheese and the flock of kids and lambs, and sail onwards. But i instead reminded the men why we made this journey in the first place, to meet the creature, I expected great presents as I mean it is I Odysseus, the all conquering traveller of the seas.
Then we entered the cave expecting to meet the great creature in which would bear gifts upon us for visiting him.
