读到第八章了，本来一路对这位英雄的悲惨遭遇深感同情，突然回想起在第七章Alcinous说过的一段话，“I am not the kind of man to get angry about nothing; it is always better to be reasonable; but by
Father Jove, Minerva, and Apollo, now that I see what kind of person you are, and how much you think as I do, I wish you would stay here, marry my daughter…表示不能忍了。Ulysses难道不是典型的有后台吗？ 当然你可能会说，那也是Ulysses真正是个好人啊，才会得到神明的庇护啊，那么我们来看看他到底是不是真的有过人的“才艺表演”。
首先我们来看，Ulysses跟Alcinous讲述自己的悲惨遭遇中透露出Nausicca给了他衣服和吃的，他非常感谢哦……但是如果他真的是替Naussica考虑的话就应该想到热情好客的希腊人民是不允许自己的孩子这么的不热情呀，可他还是等到Alcinous责备了Naussica之后才来解决，这一行为不就是“绿茶婊”吗？——“嗯嗯，您女儿虽然帮了我点小忙，可以还不够哦。但是我很大度，没关系的。”（楚楚可怜状）
再接着看，第八章，Alcinous设宴，请了Demodocus来唱歌，但是此刻，”but Ulysses drew his purple mantle over his head and covered his, for he was ashamed to let the Pharacians see that he was weep. When the bard left off singing he wiped the tears from his eye… No one noticed his distress except Alcinous, who was sitting near him, and heard the heavy sighs that he was heaving.Excuse-me?你不想被人发现，能不哭吗？一个大男人听首歌就哭了，还要专门表演给坐在旁边的国王看，这是什么居心，严重的煽情过度。——“男人哭吧哭吧不是罪……”
最后再看他对囚禁他多年的Calypso的描述，”She took me in and treated me with the utmost kindness; indeed she wanted to make me immortal that I might never grow old, but she could not persuade me to let her do so.”读到这里我已经快要被圣母光环闪瞎了。这么快乐的描述这段日子，大概还是过得很幸福的，也许内心世界是——“其实不想走，其实我想留”但却被神明们误解了。
Ulysses在返家途中遇见的演员都是“该配合你演出的我演视而不见”,毕竟他的独角戏也没有办法凑成一部史诗。所以接下来的剧本我也很是期待，看看男主角的光环还会闪耀多久？
