Reading notes:Myth-Folklore Unit: Homer's Odyssey, part B

As I had stated in my previous post about the Odyssey the language is more difficult to read and I want to tell a story with a more modern flowing language. The second half of the story that was provided had too much information to write a single story within the limits and I would not want to leave out any of the important parts. I also can not think of a way to leave out parts to make it shorter without skipping important plot parts. There were just way too many character ghost that Odysseus spoke to that had been sent to Hades at death. I think I will write my story based off the first encounter of his adventures. I would like to put my own twist on the encountered with the cyclops as I had suggested in my last post. I will either tell the story from the point of view of the cyclopes or tell the story with a few plot changes. The plot changes may be that the cyclopes actually dies or kills himself by accident or change the way that Odysseus escapes with his men. This is the story I plan on telling and how I plan to change it.
