Dear Diary,
Before I go to the underworld I am to tell you of what brings me there. While I was at the land of the Laestrygones the mates and I were attacked by cannibals and boulders only I and 44 others survived. Afterwards we sailed to Aeaea which is home to the goddess Circes. Odysseus took half of his men, one of whom was I, to the hall of Circe. When we got there the most absurd thing happened, I mean it was truly ridiculous and when I tell you of what Circe did to me I don’t believe you shall believe me. SHE TURNED ME INTO A PIG!! A little pink pig with four stubby legs and a curly cue tail. While I and everyone else other then Odysseus were pigs Circe took Odysseus away with her. They both returned quite pleased and Circe toned me and the mates back into men. I then enjoyed a year of eating and drinking at Aeaea, but I felt home sick because no food or drink could replace my family or home soil. Odysseus must have felt the same way because he conversed with Circe asking to return home. She told him he could leave but he could not return home without first visiting the prophet Tiresias in the underworld. So I am a living man off to the land meant for only the dead.
