Odysseys land of the dead

All I can remembers it my Friends, loved ones, my dog, my wife who is without her husband, and a kingdom without a king.  Thanks to Circe we had prevision so that we could walk.. The weather became cold an we could see our breath.  The cold was not the worst. For three day we sailed through a dense fog lacking the sense of direction.  Finally the boat hit the sand bar.  To of my men and I jumped of with two sheep.  All my thoughts became jumbled and confused.  It felt like we were swimming against the tide.  Finally we reached the river of forgetfulness.  We dug two hols and slit the throats of the sheep.  The dark blood pooled in the hole.  Shapes began to form to drink the blood of the sheep.  They made my soldiers shake.  I needed to wait for the blind prophet.  My men were son something like a trance, but without then I could see who I though was the prophet.  He drank and he saw that I was Odysseus.  He said I will have a hard journey and that there is only one way to go home which is to learn humanity.  during the voyage I will see cattle gazing.  Don't stop there the sun gods.  If I over come this island I must leave behind my men and carry an oar inland.  A man will ask me what a oar is.  I will truly nobody here.  I must plant the oar in the ground and then sacrifice  a ram, bull, and breading boar. This will give peace for me.  Al of a sudden I saw something.  I broke out into a run.  What I saw was my mother.  It could not be possible if I ever got home see wont be there, she had died.
