Book 3

Although I always like to have high spirits, I might be writing on my father's blog forever. After our long sail to Pylos we finally arrived on their sunny shores. To this we found thoasands of the Akhaians sacrificing nine big black bulls to the great earthshaker, Poseidon. Actually seeing all those people just made me more nervous so I was the last to leave the ship. I had to confront a king for the gods' sake! But like he always does, Mentor comforted me. He told me the gods were with me and that my heart would give me the right words to say, since I knew that my brain wouldn't. So, Mentor lead the way, and we started to walk towards the great charioteer, Nestor. We all prayed to Posiodon with wine in hand, and we feasted on the tender sacrifice to the blue-maned god. It was delicious I might add. Well, after we all had our fill of wine and meat, Nestor finally asked who we were and where we came from. I respnded pridefully, and told him why I had come.In response he told us the logn story of the Trojan War, and all he knew of my father. It turned out that my long jounrey to Pylos was in vain. After Agamemnon and Menelaos could not decide to flee or stay and sacrifice they split. Nestor left with Menelaos, and my father eventually tunred back to join Agamemnon. So he did not know anything of where he could be! I did get a few good meals though. Nesotor told me to travel to Menelaos by chariot, with one of his sons and captain, Peisistratos. So this I did after a nights stay in Nestor's palace. As for Mentor, he is watching over our young crew and keeping their young morale up. Oh man! Its getting dark, and its hard for me to see so this is farwell for now. Pray the gods are with me.
