However, when they learned the owner was a gigantic angered cyclops, Polyphemus, the men immediately wanted to kill him in his sleep. Instead, knowledgeable Odysseus convinced them to be patient, so that a plan could be carried out successfully.

Trapped in a labyrinth, constructed by the great Daedalus, the king of Crete, King Minos, demanded a tribute of seven boys and seven girls from Athens to satisfy the Minotaur’s savage hunger.

I woke up with my face pressed against cold glass, neck sore from a long and awkward nap. The view outside the windows of my family van is no different from the suburban landscape I had driven away from six hours ago, comforting in its familiarity. Finding Parrish Hall is easy, the iconic building larger than I expected.
