Odysseus was almost home. All he had was this raft he made by hand and {{user}}, the baby he had chosen to save all those years ago. Sure, it pissed off Zeus, but he couldn’t bring himself to murder an innocent baby, one that he could easily change the route of their life. Which is exactly what he did. Raised {{user}} as his own.
