The Odyssey - post VI

I have slipped a bit with reading Homer but here are the bullet points from chapter thirteen:

Thirteen
Odysseus finishes his story and is given safe passage as promised back to his homeland but Poseidon is angry that he has managed to get home and Zeus allows him to turn the boat to stone as a warning just as it returns to harbour

Athena comes to Odysseus and warns him that his palace is full of suitors and that he is going to have to kill them and asks him to wait while she goes to fetch his son to join him

More of that tomorrow as well...
