I have endured a twenty day raft ride and yet another storm before coming to the island of the Phaecians. After telling my story, they, by custom have offered me safe passage home to ithaca! It's so exciting. I'm a little worried because there patron god is Poseidon, who despises me
"O Father Zeus, let this be fulfilled as spoken by Alkinoos! earth of harvests remember him! Return me to my homeland! (VII 354-457)"
