The Odyssey, The Lotus Eaters
A raid that went wrong, an island where the food makes men forget home, and a cave belonging to somebody very large.
Retold for sleep from The Odyssey by Homer, from a public-domain English translation long out of copyright. The story is Homer's; every sentence here is our own.
Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
