It's been an eternity since I have been off this island. Calypso is becoming quite irritating, and I miss my son, my wife and my estate. I see that Telemakhos, Mentes and Nestor's son visited Menelaos in Lakedomia to try to find out more information about me. Helen and Hermione were also there. I was very pleased with what Menelaos told my son about me, and how I was very courageous and noble, and how I never gave up. Also, I was very delighted when Helen comforted my son, when he became emotional after learning about my life at war. That was very nice of her. She also told him the very unfortunate story of how I was beaten and treated like a slave. Those were very rough, depressing days that I will never forget. She also told my son how I dressed as a beggar to infiltrate the walls of Troy. Helen found and treated me well, when I was disguised as a beggar, but promised not to tell anyone that I was hiding among the townspeople. Helen will always be a great, noble friend in my heart. Telemakhos told Menelaos about the suitors, and he was outraged. All my son knows is that I am on a deserted island with Calypso, and that I miss my family. Back at my estate, I see that the suitors want to know where my son is. They swear that they saw Mentes sail with my son five days ago, but they also think that they just saw him recently. This could mean that someone is watching over my son. Despite this, I am deeply worried and frustrated at the same time. If those disgusting fools lay one hand on my son and my wife, they will pay the price of my vindictiveness. Unfortunately, I cannot do anything to help my family, and I pray that they will be safe and get through all of this. If someone wants to live a harmonious and peaceful life with his loved ones, one should always be wary of those people and things that threaten that existence.
