1. Interview:
Hello, Today I am here with the god Odyseuss and I will be asking him a few
questions about his chaotic trip to the home of goddess Circe.
Me: Odysseus, please explain what happened to make you guys lose
control of your ship and end up in the wrong spot?
Odysseus: Well, the King gave me a bag of wind as a gift and my men
aboard the ship decided to open it and the ship started blowing us away to the
home of Circe.
Me: What was your encounter with Circe like?
Odysseus: She was very beautiful, but that was very deceiving in the end. She
gave all my men some of her wine and turned them into pigs! But she couldn’t
fool me!
Me: Wow! Well, that’s all the questions i have today! Thank you so much
Odysseus for being here to share that with us!

2. Diary entry:
Dear diary, so today a bunch of foolish men strolled along to my land.
Apparently, a bag of wind pushed them here, so I played a trick on them! Haha!
Of course, I gave them some of my wine, and it worked as always! They had no
desire for home and they were all pigs! Everything was perfect until i tried giving
Odyseuss some of my drink and it didn’t work on him. I have to admit he had me
completely fooled. He was truly all mighty, and so I invited him upon my bed. He
went on about how it would make him soft and his manhood will be stripped. I
then made an Oth to him that if he enters my bed of love, I will undo what I did to
his men. I then sent them away from my land.

3. Children’s version:
Once upon a time a great god and his men traveled to The Land of the Lost. On
their trip, a wise old spirit said to Odyseuss and his men, “You will encounter
great pains and destruction if you don’t know how to control and restrain
yourselves.” Odysseus warns his men only of the advice Circe gives them about
the sirens and they are sure they will be able to surpass them without troubles!
Odysseus then realizes he’s been fooled as soon as they are in danger with the
monsters Scylla and Charibdys. Scylla had taken out 6 of Odyseusses best men.
The rest of the men left then played a trick on the monsters, getting their way out
and finding their way back home! The end.
