The Underworld (Tiresias), The Sirens, and Scylla and Charybdis



Well, I've been to the Underworld and saw Tiresias. I've also encountered Achilles, Agamemmnon, and Ajax along the way. It didn't go that bad, but I was still no where near reaching Ithaca. Then, I went and saw the Sirens. They have an amazing, mesmerizing song that I just couldn't stop listening to. My men and I tried to put wax in our ears so that we didn't have to hear their song, but it didn't work for me. I had to listen! So, I climbed up on the mast of the ship and bound myself there so I could listen to it in peace. When I finally got out of there, I tried to get past the islands of Scylla and Charybdis, two huge monsters. I decided to sail closer to Scylla so that I could avoid the whirlpool that is sent out by Charybdis. It worked, and I made it out alive. Now, it's time to go see Helios. I hope it goes well. I can't take much more misfortune.
