Odysseus and Circe

We blinded drunken Polyphemus
Disguised ourselves as sheep
The Laistrygones ate our friends
Eleven ships send to the deep
Suggesting we were merely pigs

Protected us of Circe's brew

And then a scary trip to Hades
All the fire and the brimstone
That cost our life maybe two times
As in the end was shown

"I'm amazed, did you do that completely

"How long is it gonna be?" "I don't know,
I've had the Iliad, and am half way the
Odyssey. But I don't wanna make too long."
