Dear Journal,

I am Poseidon god of the sea and I have the power to shake the earth. My many children look at me as a role model. My son polyphemos] has sent me a message telling me that Odysseus and his crew have invaded his cave and have injured him dearly; he is no longer able to see because Odysseus has stabbed him, now it is my turn for revenge. When any of my children need help I am there for them, and as of this moment Odysseus and his crew are on the verge of danger.

This man has no clue who he is dealing with and now his odyssey to his dear home, to his dear wife and son will now come to an end. Now if I ever need the help to get rid of this savage I will summon help from my siblings: Hestis, Demeter, Hera [Hera Journal], Hades [Zeus writes from the Skies] and the most powerful Zeus.

This quote expressed the joy and happiness that was felt from Odysseus and Penelope when they truly reunite after twenty years, “Poseidon has struck their well-rigged ship on the open sea with gale winds and crushing walls of waves, and only a few escape, swimming, struggling out of the frothing surf to reach the shore, their bodies crusted with salt but buoyed up with joy as they plant their feet on solid ground again, spared a deadly fate. So joyous now to her the sight of her husband, vivid in her gaze, that her white arms, embracing his neck would never for a moment let him go…”

Dear Journal,

The divine Athena [Athena], daughter of Zeus and I have been devised into a competition. This competition would be for the two Immortals to devise cunning gifts for the mortals, they in turn, promised to show eternal gratitude to the victor. I devised the horse and Athena created the olive tree. Athens was named after the contest winner but my gift of the horse literally changed the shape of the ancient Greek world.

Dear Journal,  I found the resourceful Odysseus on a raft within sight of land. The sea and the wind rose at my command and with my trident, I staggered the sea and let loose the storm blasts against Odysseus [Odysseus's First Entry] and his tiny raft. Before the raft was smashed to splinters, a sea goddess, Leukothea, saw Odysseus and gave him her veil as protection from drowning but Odysseus was afraid that this was just another one of my tricks. Odysseus waited until the raft sank below the crashing waves before he accepted the goddesses help and began the three day swim to the foreign shore. Satisfied that harm but no death had befallen our cursed hero; I turned away from the long-suffering Odysseus and made my way to my palace.

Dear Journal,

I have accomplished my revenge towards Odysseus by delaying his journey home, he may not realize that he is getting closer to home then being pushed back by my wrath! Now that I have accomplishes revenge I can let my son know that Odysseus will never hurt him again and if he puts a single finger on anybody of my family he will have to deal with so much more than just a long journey home!
