For all Ulysses knew he was a hero. He was a god-like warrior and deserved much more than the petty life of a regular mortal. He fit the label of an immortal deity‚ his actions in the Trojan War and the ten years he had spent sailing on the sea have determined it.

Not only is there more drugs now a days but the way we use them is quite different than before. We have improved both the genetic structure of
