Still kinda trying to figure out why I paid 12 bucks for something I was already using for free! Am I missing something. I actually like the way plain old Art Studio operates a lot better, it feels a bit more user friendly and is a lot less confusing for me then this one I just paid for. We have implemented many parsers from the most popular assets/images formats and we are especially proud of our ABR/TPL parser which not only reads brush stamps and patterns, but also most settings which are converted to Artstudio Pro brush engine values.Trying to figure out what the difference is between Art Studio and Art Studio Pro besides the hefty price tag for Pro and the other one being completely free! So far both apps seem to be exactly the same for the most part.

The crew eventually wants to move on and convinces Odysseus to resume the journey home. Odysseus, as Hermes predicts, shares the bed of a goddess. The events unfold as Hermes predicts, and life is good for Odysseus and his men for the next year as they feast and drink. He must accept but only after securing promises from the goddess that she will release his men and hereafter treat them all well. Circe will then surrender and offer her considerable sexual favors to Odysseus. ![]() When the goddess wields her wand, Odysseus is to pull his sword and attack, not cower, as if he will run her through. Hermes, disguised as a young man, intervenes and tells Odysseus how to overcome Circe: He must take a magic herb, moly, which will serve as antidote to Circe's potions. His report to Odysseus stirs the always admirable courage of the leader, who immediately sets out alone to attempt rescue.Ĭourage alone, however, won't save the day. ![]() Only Eurylochus is suspicious enough to stand back and escape. Then she strikes them with her wand and turns them into swine, driving them into her pigsties. Circe calls them into her halls and gives them a potion that, like the lotus, erases from their memories any thoughts of home. To their delight, they are greeted by what appears to be a beautiful, hospitable goddess with magical charm and a spellbinding voice. Odysseus again sends out a scouting party. Only Odysseus' cool leadership permits his single ship to row to safety.Ĭaution and judgment, some of it from the gods, eventually save most of the remaining crew at Circe's island of Aeaea. They hurl huge boulders, reminiscent of the attack by Cyclops, and spear the seamen like fish. Suddenly the hosts devour the scouts and attack Odysseus' ships. Odysseus cautiously sends scouts to check out the inhabitants who initially seem hospitable. Things only get worse as the flotilla, with no favoring wind from Aeolus, rows to the land of the Laestrygonians. Odysseus understandably despairs as storms blow him away from Ithaca, but he manages to resist the temptation to commit suicide (10.55-61). The god of the winds refuses to help Odysseus further because he infers that the gods must despise anyone so unlucky. Tragically, they release all the adverse winds and are blown back to Aeolus. They suspect that the ox skin contains great treasure, which they feel should be shared. While he sleeps, curiosity and mistrust overcome them. However, as he did following the initial victory over the Cicones, Odysseus loses control of his men. ![]() He harnesses all potentially destructive winds, binding them tightly in an ox skin and stowing the ox skin onboard Odysseus' ship. Aeolus is impressed with Odysseus and treats him with classic hospitality. Judgment is once more a crucial problem as the Greeks very nearly get home to Ithaca only to see their goal vanish in a storm. ![]() It sails to the island of Aeaea, home of the beautiful but dangerous goddess Circe, whom Odysseus can overcome only through the intervention of Hermes, messenger of the gods and son of Zeus. With no favoring wind at all, the Greeks must row, and they come upon the land of the Laestrygonians, cannibalistic giants who suddenly attack and devour the seamen, hurling boulders at the ships and spearing the men like so many fish. The wind god refuses to help them further. Curious and suspicious, his men open the ox skin expecting to find treasure and inadvertently release heavy squalls that blow them right back to Aeolus' island. After ten days of sailing, the Greeks are so close to home that they can actually see men tending fires on their island. Only the West Wind is left free to blow them toward Ithaca. In it are captured all the winds that might drive the ships off course. Eager to move on, Odysseus receives an ox-skin pouch from Aeolus. Having escaped the Cyclops, Odysseus and his men arrive at the home of Aeolus, master of the winds, where they are greeted warmly and hosted for a month. |
