This was a really long chapter considering how little was actually going on. Not bad. Just a little long. Maybe. Whatever.
The Phaiakans finally return Odysseus home, but he was asleep the entire time. The lay him and his treasures on the ground and sail off. Then Poseidon, being the mean old Earth Shaker he is, decides to punish the Phaiakans for helping Odysseus. When they come in sight their people Poseidon turns the ship to stone sinking them to the ocean floor. King Alikoöns isn't looking to help just anyone get passage back home after this incident. Wonder if this is why we don't pick up hitchhikers these days. Hmmmmmmm.....
Oh well. Odysseus wakes up. Athena puts a mist over his eyes which brings him to believe the Phaiakans dropped him in the wrong place. But soon enough Athena comes and lifts the mist from his eyes. Now they plan the death of the suitors who are ruining Odysseus' household. Now Odysseus is off, in the guise of a beggar, to meet one of his old servants.
That's it for this chapter. These posts have to get more interesting sooner or later. Let's hope sooner. Fingers crossed. Bye. ^_^
