Odysseus was a king and a heck of a nice man ... he was religious and polite ... HOWEVER ... do not let him into your boat!
Odysseus had a terrible reputation for losing his shipmates to monsters, storms, giants, evil goddesses and just plain old bad luck ... if he gets in your boat, you’ll be checking in at Davy Jones’ locker before you can say, ”What the ... How the ... Glug, glug, glug!”
Just wave to Odysseus as you sail by and pretend you don’t speak Greek.
