| Summary: | Orphaned by the war and enslaved by Odysseus himself, Alexi has a very different view of the conquering heroes of legend.

As the Greeks fight off the angry Cicones, weather a storm that pushes them far beyond charted waters, and nearly succumb to the blandishments of the bewitching Lotus-eaters, he realizes that they are not the demons they were said to be, but people like himself. |
