Oh the consequences

Passing the island of the Sirens’, we had to pass through Scylla, the six headed monster, and Charybdis, an enormous whirlpool. Scyalla unfortunately was able to obtain and devour six of my men, while Charybdis threatened to overtake us. Finally we were able to make it through the two of them and we reached Thrinacia, the island of the Sun. We stayed there for a month and during this period of time, we went through all of our provisions. On the day we ran out of provisions, my men decided to disobey me and slaughter the Sun’s cattle when I was asleep.”“As long as corn and wine held out the men did not touch the cattle when they were hungry; when, however, they had eaten all there was in the ship, they were forced to go further afield, with hook and line, catching birds, and taking whatever they could lay their hands on; for they were starving.” (Book 12) I knew things were going to go wrong from that point on. While sailing, a storm appeared and destroyed our ship and sent us all barreling towards the bottom of the sea to our deaths. Only I survived this feat; however I was swept all the way back to Charybdis, the enormous whirlpool and barely make it out alive. From there, I was floating on a raft of broken wood of my old ship and managed to make it to the island of Calypso’s home.
