Chapter 7: The Gods look on Odysseus and his Travels, Plotting

The rosy fingers of Dawn so curled in

Through the cloudy roof o'er earth.

And resourceful Odysseus with his crew

Went sailing onwards,

Ending up at the island of the Lotus Eaters

All the while,

The crew began to party some more below deck

Were the child hid.

He taking scraps that went unnoticed into the haystack

As the crew was very much drunk with joy at this point.

With the gods looking on,

Debating the life of Yami Cronos.

'Why do we let him live?

He is the essence of evil,

So we have the right to kill him.

We mustn't be afraid to exercise our power,

We have never feared a mortal as much as this child,

So why hesitate?

Take aim and kill him before he kills Odysseus.'

Claimed an anger Poseidon, ruler of all seas.

'You heard what was ordered of us'

Returned wise Athena

'We shall only watch, 

Making sure that he comes to us without fail.

He will come to us and we shall listen to what 

He has to say before we take any kind of action.'

The gods all in a state of anxiety

All because he lived

While they fear His power

But they do not know the news he carries

And soon Odysseus gets his men in order

Having them sail off

Out of fear of never remembering Ithaca.
