“…so that in love and sleep we may learn to trust one another.”

[source]

Circe tells Odysseus that she will only return his men to normal if he takes her to bed, so he does, actually remaining with her for what seems to be a few days. However, time passes differently in Circe’s castle and, while Odysseus thinks that he has only been with Circe a few days, a whole year goes by in the outside world.

    Something about the quote from Odysseus speaks to me right now. Thanks for that…

    Necromancer, you’re not the only one.

    That’s it, I think: burn burn burn. Time to let go. And from thence to the realms of the dead, to search for Tiresias perhaps…

    course, that’s just my take on your take on it. ;)

    Ian, what are you doing after work? I’ll give you a call during the day perhaps if I can wrangle a phone. My bus leaves here at 10am.
