To my disgust, the Phaeacians helped Odysseus get back to Ithaca. So I, god of the earthquake, asked Zeus for permission to punish them. I promised Odysseus would suffer long and hard before he returned to Ithaca, but now he is home and I can’t do anything about it. Those Odysseus-loving Phaeacians needed punishment for assisting Odysseus so I was planning to pile a huge mountain around their port. But, Zeus gave me great advice. He said I should first turn the returning ship, the one Odysseus traveled in, into stone and let it sink. That way, all the Phaeacians will be in awe. Subsequently, I did so with a flick of my hand. I am very pleased with my work. The Phaeacians get what they deserve.
