Scheria

I decided to ask Nausicaa in a humble way that would not scare her, if she would help me.  I decided not to scare Nausicaa but to use charm with my words. If I had scared Nausicaa, she would have run and I never would have figured out how to get on Alcinous and Arête’s good side. Nausicaa said yes and gave me instructions on how to get on her parents good side and gave me a bath and clothes. Athena then lead me to the palace of Alcinous and Arete and I followed Nausicaa’s instructions to win favour among the two. I then told them my story of all of my advenchers and my hope to return home to my Ithaca, wife and child.While I was there for the four days I also competed in a few competitions (discus, etc) and won. Alcinous then gave me lots of gifts and escorted him to Ithaca. On the return trip, my ship turned to stone!
