"Just like Uylsses, on an open sea/On an Odyssey/of self discovery"*

[jack_babalon]

Which Homeric character are you? Odysseus You are that man skilled in all ways of contending, the wanderer, the beggar-turned-king Odysseus. You're a pacifist at heart but a warrior in spirit, and there's just 'nobody' tricksier than you! Hey, watch it with that stick - you're going to put someone's eye out. Put a GPS on your Christmas list, because otherwise, who knows when you'll find your way home?

Feast of the Nymph Calypso for Odysseus by Jan Brueghel the Elder (with Hendrick de Clerck) ca. 1616

I too have found myself playing the role of sailor, adventurer, liar and lover to witches, nymphs, goddesses, princesses all in my long search for that one true queen that I will one day call home. Until then I am tied to the mast of my resolve - unable to deny myself either the Sirens song nor the sweet oblivion they promise from their treacherous shores.

~From my favorite movie of all time O Brother Where Art Thou, one of the best adaptions of the Odyssey to date.
