Hello this is let's talk about myths baby and I feel silly still sometimes when I sing that

anyway I am live and I am here with another episode of the Odyssey guys we're getting to all of the absolute best bits

those bits that I always forget come so early in the story comparatively because of all the murder at the end

we get all the fun monsters now

this is Homer's Odyssey translated by Samuel Butler book 12

after we were clear of the river Oceanus and had got out into the open sea

we went on till we reached the Iain Island where there is dawn and sunrise as in other places

we then drew our ship onto the sands and got out of her onto the shore

where we went to sleep and waited till day should break

then when the child of morning rosy finger dawn appeared I sent some men to Cersei's house to fetch the body of Alpinor

we cut firewood from a wood where the headland jutted out into the sea and after we had wept over him and lamented him

we performed his funeral rights

when his body and armor had been burned to ashes we raised a can set a stone over it and at the top of the can

we fixed the ore that he had been used to row with

while we were doing all this Cersei who knew that we had got back from the house of Hades

dressed herself and came to us as fast as she could and her maid servants came with her bringing us bread, meat and wine

then she stood in the midst of us and said

you have now done a bold thing and going down alive to the house of Hades

and you will have died twice to other people's once

now then stay here for the rest of the day

feast your fill and go on with your voyage a daybreak tomorrow morning

in the meantime I will tell Odysseus about your course and will explain everything to him so as to prevent your suffering from misadventure either by land or sea
