The Sun Titan's cows, the men eat them and all die, the deathly cattle.

The horrible witch Circe turns men into ugly pigs. "Do you like bacon?"

Scylla, disgusting. Charybdis, nightmarish. Both, a bad mistake. ~JS** Passing between rocks I see foam and spray rising. We must be careful...

Big gaping wide jaws Stretching down from above me Snatching up sailors.

Asleep was the wise one. Awake were the foolish men. Then we did bad things.

I am falling off Into a teeth-rimmed whirlpool I cannot survive.

Rocking ocean waves Two gray rocks loom ahead Danger can be sensed.

I remember this Gaping jaws in a dark cave The monster Scylla.

All I had felt then Was ravenous hunger to Eat those gold cattle. ~VS **

** Your men are such liars. You may want to say goodbye As they will all die.

Your men did not listen. Certain things cannot be stopped. Would they listen now? ~AR ** Ulysses pulls harder To get closer to the song But we can't tell why.

Lightning strikes the ship. The crew is thrown all about All begin to sink.

Lots and lots of cows Tender and calmed they are Why can't we have them?

Some fall to her fingers But worse is to come for us As it sucks the tide.

Smoke is in the sir Ghostly souls are everywhere in the land of the dead. ~JA

Ulysses shipmates On a cloud of ignorance Blew the voyage home.

Sorceress Circe Turned men into animals By feeding them wine.

Scylla and Chrybdis Once Naids, now fierce monsters Eating men alive.

The Siren sisters Beautiful voices calling Sailors to their death. ~MS

 One by one she picks My helpless men from my ship To swallow them whole.

My dream of good food All because of you... is gone Why slay those fine cows? ~GG ** Ulysses so wise Yet his men are dumbfounded Twenty years too long. ~LH The battles we fought... Ithaca we may never reach. O, the songs we've sung! ~LH **
