Meeting Odysseus
Today, Nausicaa took us down to the stream. She had us wash all her clothes so that she would not need to when she took a husband. While we were waiting for her tunics to dry, we danced around and played with a ball we had brought. Nausicaa threw the ball to Isea. She missed and the ball fell into the water. The soft current gently carried it to a mound of shrubs lodged in the water, and as I went to fetch it I heard loud shrieks from behind me. I turned around to see a man, clothed in only leaves, standing a few feet away from Nausicaa. I was too far away to hear much, but I saw her motion for the maidens to bring him some food and drink. When the maidens left, Nausicaa whispered something to the stranger, and I am curious to find out what.

Yo, maiden, don't belittle yourself. You may be a maiden, but you're not JUST a maiden. You are soo much more. Doesn't it bother you to always do what that girl asks you to do? Why should she get that handsome sailor? Why not you? I think you should use your detective skills and find out more.
ReplyDeleteNausicaa isn't just another stuck up girl, she really does have a kind heart. I am a maiden, it isn't my business to meddle with her love life! Besides, Odysseus obviously has his eye set on her, I don't even have a chance...
ReplyDeleteNot quite Cleo. Odysseus is loyal to his family and would never cheat on his wife
ReplyDeletedon't tell anyone. But if my wife is dead when i get back home, i'll be glad to meet you. "wink, wink, nudge, nudge"
