If you went to the Trojan War with Odysseus you wouldn’t have come back at all. The war lasted ten years and the trek home was as long and deadly as the war.

If you had been with Odysseus you might have been:

• a. killed in the Trojan War
• b. eaten by the six headed Skylla
• c. bombarded by giants with boulders
• d. turned into a pig
• e. eaten by a Cyclops (Kyklopes)
• f. or drowned.

The point is, Odysseus came home alone.
