Calypso gave me the special treatment before I left. She bathed me, clothed me in fragrant clothing, and stored rations in my boat. These rations composed of two skins one dark wine, another with fresh water, and Calypso's choices of meats to keep my strength up for the long sail back home.
Zeus was on my side, the winds blew strong tonight. I wedged my eyes open, forever scanning the stars. Here is a picture of this wonderful sight:
I never realized how beautiful and mysterious the sky could be. Some many different stars, I wonder if we could ever visit one. What would it be like up there? Is it ever possible to get off of Earth?
Don't you think it is amazing how a collection of stars can look like a bear or a hunter or even Heracles' belt?
