For this section of the story I am choosing to write about the Siren’s Isle. This has always been my favorite part of The Odyssey! Although, changing the story to fit the futuristic theme might be semi-difficult, so I’m hoping for the best here. Instead of the soldiers sailing past the isle in a boat, they would be in a hovercraft with the rest of their weapons and loot they had stolen from the Cyclops. The men would pass by the isle and see the most strange, pretty, mermaid-type creatures they have ever seen. They did, however, know that these creatures were the most evil, quickest, sneaky and dangerous types of women. So the men would do everything in their power to make sure that harm would come to none of the soldiers on board. They would wear every bit of armor they had on the ship, and arm the hovercraft with the strongest steel they stole from the Cyclops in case these creatures felt threatened in anyway.
By the time they would come near the isle, the Siren’s would already be ready to defend their land. The hover craft and mass weapons and protection upon the hovercraft would have spooked them already. As soon as the Sirens swam closer to the hovercraft, they would begin to sing their song, which the soldiers soon realized was much more. The song of the sirens would be deadly to anyone who would hear the song for longer than thirty seconds…
