It is fa- mous for a footprint seven feet long. According to Buddhists the print was made by Buddha. Hindus, on the other hand, maintain that it was left by Siva, and Christians some- times identify this region with the Garden of Eden, therefore holding that the footprint is that of none other than Adam.

There is no accurate source for any definite information about the life of this man, vet he com- posed two of the greatest epics in all the centuries of mankind. We do know that he lived some- time between the Sixth and Twelfth centuries before Christ was born, and we know that in old age Homer was blind. He made his living wandering from city to city entertaining the peo- ple with the stories of the Trojan war and of the wanderings of Ulysses.

While he slept one after- noon, Ulysses heated a staff and put out the eye of the giant, hoping then to escape. Jut the passage- way was narrow and the giant care- fully felt each animal as he let his sheep out to pasture. With cunning, the Greeks killed all the sheep and skinned them. In the morning they walked out, hold- ing the skins over them. Other adventures beset the men. There was the island of the Sirens, the lovely women who sang divine- ly, luring men to their island where the men were then powerless, By stuffing cloth and wax into the ears of his men and having himself lashed securely to the mast, Ulysses passed the Sirens, being the first man to hear them and to escape their charm. Another adventure was the island where an enchantress turned men into animals, but Ulys- ses gained power over her and freed all the men whom she held. Penelope’s Troubles. After wandering long and far, Ulysses reached Greece. He had heard of the suitors who had fastened themselves to the house- hold of Penelope on the assumption They had stolen her sub- her husband's home, To soon as she completed the web which she was weaving, she would choose a husband. Each day she wove, among them, Disguised as a beggar, Ulysses went to the back of his home. The only living thing that recognized him was his dog and it died of joy. His old servant, now a swineherd, recognized a scar on Ulysses, and rejoicing and scrrowing together, told his master of the situation in his home. He praised Penelope's skill in handling the lecherous men. Ulysses sent for his son, now 2 man, and they two planned re- venge. As a beggar Ulysses went to the banquet. While the revelry was high, he removed the weapons from the hall, leaving the suitors without arms.
