Excerpts from a cryptic Odyssey: a low-fat Homer for healthy moderns.
Cyclops: The cave-dweller is not looking good. No one is to blame, but the hangers-on are sheepish. This will cause a splash.
Laestrygonians: They'll leave the weaving ships with no turn unstoned.
Circe: She circles round with food and drink; all the men pig out. Bar one. He sticks to the white stuff and scores big time. Pillow talk afterwards and she tells him to go to hell.
Sirens: Good voices, so we're told, but it's all hard rock. Bark-lovers steer clear and wax lyrical about their ears. Only one shows restraint.
Lotus-eaters: Prozac on a twig. The anti-Eucharist--"do this in forgetfulness of me".
Scylla and Charybdis: Typical of a big corporate body--six heads all looking for unfriendly mergers with small offshore companies. Well, they were going down the gurgler anyway.
The Kingdom of the Dead: It's like Wall Street down at the pit--shady types dealing in Futures. We do the deal over a business lunch with the old blind bloke. The rest are a bunch of has-beens.
