We arrived at another island and Odysseus sent a few of us to explore. We stumbled through the jungle for a while before we find a large building, it looked something like a castle and it had been a long time since we'd stopped at such a fine place. We climbed up though a few seemed unsure if it was wise. But I admit I was eager to find however was living here. As we made it to the steps I noticed huge lions, they didn't approach or anything, they seemed rather harmless but I decided not to test that theory. Soon we met a beautiful women, she smiled and asked us to sit and drink with her as though she'd been expecting us. We all assumed a women would be harmless to us and sat down. But before, things became strange I'm not sure what was happening but soon my eyes were lower to the ground as if I was sitting and when I tried to speak all I heard were the squeals of a pig. http://thewonderpigs.com/facts.htm
I wasn't sure what was happening to me but I saw Eurylochus running and new he was our only hope. Horror washed through me and I became desperate to escape and return to home. I feared I never would. I would just have to wait, perhaps Odysseus could help us escape from this mess to.
Though it seemed like forever, I could hear a new pair of feet entering the palace and I tried to contain my hope. But then I heard my captain voice and I was joyous. I had faith I'd be in my human body before long. And I was corrected. I wasn't sure how Odysseus managed it but I didn't care. I was human again.
I expected that we'd leave just as soon as we had come but I was wrong. Odysseus seemed please enough to stay but on occasion I mentioned we should be heading home, that our families were waiting. He usually listened and assured me we would be leaving soon but the date was never set and the time only became longer. Finally, I asked a few men to come with me and convince him and eventually he agreed and parted with Circe.
