"I dreamed about this a hundred times back on my island. The gods had wanted to test myself and I was punished ... yet I was the instigator of the horse allowed to take Troy. Proud of my ruse, I thought to be invincible as much by challenging the Cyclops sheep appetizing. My way back under the wrath of Poseidon, was transformed into the Cross ... the Sorceress Circe, the Sirens, Nausicaa, Calypso, as many games that evil away from my back and my wife ...
Here I was in Ithaca and only few faithful servants and an old dog recognized me. I was as alone in the world, forgotten by his family, that's what I thought ...

Now I'm here, in the guise of a beggar and I will tender the arch of my youth, proving my identity, my back, my life ... and soon my revenge. "

- I wanted to make a stop on the ship as it bears the name of a God who caused me so many torments ...
- Poseidon is a nice name, but to defend these waters to and fro, should be that of a destroyer of punishment. I replied.

Behind his frail appearance, we felt the strength of his muscles contained and desire. Descending the steps towards the pontoon bridge and the village road, the old man quickly disappeared from my sight, as if impelled by a superhuman, almost divine.
The corridors of time are sometimes heroes derive their roads, but with the strength and toughness, some like Ulysses, one day arriving to satisfy their dreams and destinies ...
