Quote context

[...]

- Apollo, protector of Ithaca bless tomorrow's games, and accept the sacrifice. We have honored the god. Apollo will be favorable tomorrow.

- If I win the games, I shall sleep in the bed of Ulysses.

- And to thank the god for this magnificent victory, I shall cut the throat of every goat on the island.

- You were born to be a leader, Eurymachus. And for this you are prepared to risk everything on one day.

- I do not envy the winner.

- Evidently you do not think it worth much to become king of Ithaca.

- The new king of Ithaca should learn to sleep lightly.

- What does that mean?

- There will be daggers behind every column, poison in every goblet, a plot in every smile.

- Come now, Ulysses is at the bottom of the sea, or maybe on some beach with his bones rotting in the sun, food for the hawks by now.

Six months? Has it been that long? Seems like a single summer's evening.
You witch! While I slept you turned a band of heroes into swine. -It was much easier to do than you think.
Quick, get some wax and stop up the ears of all the men. Tell them not to look to the right nor to the left but to row. Row for their lives. It's the only thing that will save them. Hurry!

There's a part of me that loves the familiar, the end of the journey, the harbor, the cooking fires at home. There's always the other part. That part loves the voyage, the open sea, storms, strange shapes of uncharted islands, demons, giants.
