Circe's Island


When they got to Circe's island Odysseus stayed on the ship while Eurylochus and some of the other men go explore the island. When they get to Circe's house there are like, big monsters outside. Everybody but Eurylochus wanted to go in her house. Eurylochus like, thought she was a witch. Once the men got in her house she like, gave them this drink and then turned them into PIGS! Wow that's scary. After she put them in a pigsty Eurylochus ran down to where the ship was to Odysseus. He told them what happened. On Ody's way to her house he like, meets the god Hermes. Hermes makes Odysseus immune to Circe's powers. So when he gets there and he doesn't react to her drink or spell she realizes who he is. He convinces Circe to turn his men back into humans. Then they all go back to the ship and tell them the good news and they're like, going to eat dinner with her. Eurylochus tells him he shouldn't go because it's a trick. But Odysseus doesn't listen because he says he's the leader. Odysseus and his men stay on her island for a year before his men reminded him of home. They started their journey back home.
