Ulises (Destripando la Historia)

Hello, dirty castaways, welcome to Unpacking History
Today we're gonna talk about Ulysses
Since he was young he was trained
By a super wise centaur
He's charming, clever, and loyal
Ulysses is the king
He loves his wife a lot
And has a son with
A really weird name

But in Troy, he got caught up
And had to go to war
I have to leave, my love, but I’ll be back
And I’ll wait for you
And I swear I’ll be
Unmarried until
Your son grows up!

After the tough goodbye
He recruited Achilles
Ten years of his life
Fighting, what a pain
With his plan in mind
A great horse
Now Troy is lost
The war is coming to an end

He set sail
And headed home on the waves
The journey gets complicated soon and the odyssey
Begins
Poseidon gets really mad
With all that wind he got lost
And arrived at an island

A witch lives there
She turned her people into pigs
To rescue them Hermes helped him
Made him immune
He hooked up with the witch
Broke the spell
And let them go

This journey's gonna cost a lot
A seer told him
They have to pass through the sirens
Their music is deadly
He has to tie himself to the mast
Or he’ll jump into the sea
And say goodbye for good

Zeus punishes with a lightning bolt
His crew
For sacrificing
Sheep of the Sun God
Only Ulysses has made it
To Calypso
That nymph has him
Pretty enchanted

He loved it
For seven years she trapped him
But he always carried his family in his heart
Zeus convinced Calypso
And freed poor Ulysses
And he died of sadness

His wife is overwhelmed
She’s being harassed non-stop
She organized a contest to
Finally decide who she would marry
Ulysses will win

With his bow, he has no rival
Together they start anew
