Forthwith, then, I first bade propitiate the god, but thereafter anger seized the son of Atreus, and straightway he arose and spoke a threatening word, which now has come to pass. For the quick-glancing Achaeans are taking the maiden in a swift ship to Chryse, and are bearing gifts to the god; 1.390. while the other woman the heralds have just now taken from my tent and led away, the daughter of Briseus, whom the sons of the Achaeans gave me.

For often I have heard you glorying in the halls of my father, and declaring that you alone among the immortals warded off shameful ruin from the son of Cronos, lord of the dark clouds, on the day when the other Olympians wished to put him in bonds, even Hera and Poseidon and Pallas Athene. 1.396.

So he sat down there upon his throne; but Hera saw, and failed not to note how silver-footed Thetis, daughter of the old man of the sea, had taken counsel with him.

So saying, he sate him down, and among them uprose Nestor, that was king of sandy Pylos. He with good intent addressed their gathering and spake among them:My friends, leaders and rulers of the Argives 2.80. were it any other of the Achaeans that told us this dream we might deem it a false thing, and turn away therefrom the more; but now hath he seen it who declares himself to be far the mightiest of the Achaeans.

Likening herself to him swifted-footed Iris spake to Priam, saying:Old sir, ever are endless words dear to thee, now even as of yore in time of peace; but war unabating is afoot.

Then, stirred to hot anger, spake to her Zeus, the cloud-gatherer:Strange queen, wherein do Priam and the sons of Priam work thee ills so many, that thou ragest unceasingly to lay waste the well-built citadel of Ilios? If thou wert to enter within the gates and the high walls 4.33. Then, stirred to hot anger, spake to her Zeus, the cloud-gatherer:Strange queen, wherein do Priam and the sons of Priam work thee ills so many, that thou ragest unceasingly to lay waste the well-built citadel of Ilios? If thou wert to enter within the gates and the high walls 4.34. Then, stirred to hot anger, spake to her Zeus, the cloud-gatherer:Strange queen, wherein do Priam and the sons of Priam work thee ills so many, that thou ragest unceasingly to lay waste the well-built citadel of Ilios? If thou wert to enter within the gates and the high walls 4.35. and to devour Priam raw and the sons of Priam and all the Trojans besides, then perchance mightest thou heal thine anger. Do as thy pleasure is; let not this quarrel in time to come be to thee and me a grievous cause of strife between us twain. And another thing will I tell thee, and do thou lay it to heart. 4.36. and to devour Priam raw and the sons of Priam and all the Trojans besides, then perchance mightest thou heal thine anger. Do as thy pleasure is; let not this quarrel in time to come be to thee and me a grievous cause of strife between us twain. And another thing will I tell thee, and do thou lay it to heart. 4.37. and to devour Priam raw and the sons of Priam and all the Trojans besides, then perchance mightest thou heal thine anger. Do as thy pleasure is; let not this quarrel in time to come be to thee and me a grievous cause of strife between us twain. And another thing will I tell thee, and do thou lay it to heart. 4.43. When it shall be that I, vehemently eager to lay waste a city, choose one wherein dwell men that are dear to thee, seek thou in no wise to hinder my anger, but suffer me; since I too have yielded to thee of mine own will, yet with soul unwilling. For of all cities beneath sun and starry heaven 4.49. wherein men that dwell upon the face of the earth have their abodes, of these sacred Ilios was most honoured of my heart, and Priam and the people of Priam, with goodly spear of ash. For never at any time was mine altar in lack of the equal feast, the drink-offering, and the savour of burnt-offering, even the worship that is our due. 4.50. Then in answer to him spake ox-eyed, queenly Hera:Verily have I three cities that are far dearest in my sight, Argos and Sparta and broad-wayed Mycenae; these do thou lay waste whensoe'er they shall be hateful to thy heart. Not in their defence do I stand forth, nor account them too greatly. 4.51. Then in answer to him spake ox-eyed, queenly Hera:Verily have I three cities that are far dearest in my sight, Argos and Sparta and broad-wayed Mycenae; these do thou lay waste whensoe'er they shall be hateful to thy heart. Not in their defence do I stand forth, nor account them too greatly. 4.52. Then in answer to him spake ox-eyed, queenly Hera:Verily have I three cities that are far dearest in my sight, Argos and Sparta and broad-wayed Mycenae; these do thou lay waste whensoe'er they shall be hateful to thy heart. Not in their defence do I stand forth, nor account them too greatly. 4.57. For even though I grudge thee, and am fain to thwart their overthrow, I avail naught by my grudging, for truly thou art far the mightier. Still it beseemeth that my labour too be not made of none effect; for I also am a god, and my birth is from the stock whence is thine own, and crooked-counselling Cronos begat me as the most honoured of his daughters 4.58. For even though I grudge thee, and am fain to thwart their overthrow, I avail naught by my grudging, for truly thou art far the mightier.

Nay then, let us yield one to the other herein, I to thee and thou to me, and all the other immortal gods will follow with us; and do thou straightway bid Athene 4.61. in twofold wise, for that I am eldest, and am called thy wife, whilst thou art king among all the immortals. Nay then, let us yield one to the other herein, I to thee and thou to me, and all the other immortal gods will follow with us; and do thou straightway bid Athene 4.64. in twofold wise, for that I am eldest, and am called thy wife, whilst thou art king among all the immortals.

So said she, and the father of men and gods failed not to hearken; forthwith he spake to Athene winged words: 4.66. go her way into the dread din of battle of Trojans and Achaeans, and contrive how that the Trojans may be first in defiance of their oaths to work evil upon the Achaeans that exult in their triumph. So said she, and the father of men and gods failed not to hearken; forthwith he spake to Athene winged words: 4.67. go her way into the dread din of battle of Trojans and Achaeans, and contrive how that the Trojans may be first in defiance of their oaths to work evil upon the Achaeans that exult in their triumph.

Haste thee with all speed unto the host into the midst of Trojans and Achaeans, and contrive how that the Trojans may be first in defiance of their oaths to work evil upon the Achaeans that exult in their triumph. So saying, he stirred on Athene that was already eager, and down from the peaks of Olympus she went darting. 4.71. Haste thee with all speed unto the host into the midst of Trojans and Achaeans, and contrive how that the Trojans may be first in defiance of their oaths to work evil upon the Achaeans that exult in their triumph.

Even in such wise as the son of crooked-counselling Cronos sendeth a star to be a portent for seamen or for a wide host of warriors, a gleaming star, and therefrom the sparks fly thick; even so darted Pallas Athene to earth, and down she leapt into the midst; and amazement came upon all that beheld 4.76.

So would many a one of Achaeans and Trojans speak. But Athene entered the throng of the Trojans in the guise of a man, even of Laodocus, son of Antenor, a valiant spearman, in quest of god-like Pandarus, if haply she might find him. And she found Lycaon's son, peerless and stalwart 4.86. So would many a one of Achaeans and Trojans speak.

And she found Lycaon's son, peerless and stalwart 4.90. as he stood, and about him were the stalwart ranks of the shield-bearing hosts that followed him from the streams of Aesepus. Then she drew near, and spake to him winged words:Wilt thou now hearken to me, thou wise-hearted son of Lycaon? Then wouldst thou dare to let fly a swift arrow upon Menelaus 4.91. as he stood, and about him were the stalwart ranks of the shield-bearing hosts that followed him from the streams of Aesepus.

Nay, come, shoot thine arrow at glorious Menelaus, and vow to Apollo, the wolf-born god, famed for his bow, that thou wilt sacrifice a glorious hecatomb of firstling lambs, when thou shalt come to thy home, the city of sacred Zeleia. So spake Athene, and persuaded his heart in his folly. 4.101.

But for us twain, let us give place, and avoid the wrath of Zeus. 5.39. So spake she, and led furious Ares forth from the battle. Then she made him to sit down on the sandy banks of Scamander, and the Trojans were turned in flight by the Danaans. Each one of the captains slew his man; first the king of men, Agamemnon, thrust from his car the leader of the Halizones, great Odius 5.121. /and declareth that not for long shall I behold the bright light of the sun. 5.122. /and declareth that not for long shall I behold the bright light of the sun. 5.123. /and declareth that not for long shall I behold the bright light of the sun. 5.124. and declareth that not for long shall I behold the bright light of the sun. So spake he in prayer, and Pallas Athene heard him, and made his limbs light, his feet and his hands above; and she drew near to his side and spake to him winged words:Be of good courage now, Diomedes, to fight against the Trojans 5.125. for in thy breast have I put the might of thy father, the dauntless might, such as the horseman Tydeus, wielder of the shield, was wont to have. And the mist moreover have I taken from thine eyes that afore was upon them, to the end that thou mayest well discern both god and man.

Thither let us go and lay us down, since the couch is thy desire. Then in answer to her spake Zeus, the cloud-gatherer:Hera, fear thou not that any god or man shall behold the thing, with such a cloud shall I enfold thee withal, a cloud of gold.

Therein lay the twain, and were clothed about with a cloud, fair and golden, wherefrom fell drops of glistering dew. Thus in quiet slept the Father on topmost Gargarus, by sleep and love overmastered, and clasped in his arms his wife. But sweet Sleep set out to run to the ships of the Argives 14.355. to bear word to the Enfolder and Shaker of Earth. And he came up to him, and spake winged words, saying:With a ready heart now, Poseidon, do thou bear aid to the Danaans, and vouchsafe them glory, though it be for a little space, while yet Zeus sleepeth; for over him have I shed soft slumber 14.356. to bear word to the Enfolder and Shaker of Earth.

So spake he and departed to the glorious tribes of men, but Poseidon he set on yet more to bear aid to the Danaans. Forthwith then he leapt forth amid the foremost, and cried aloud:Argives, are we again in good sooth to yield victory to Hector 14.361. and Hera hath beguiled him to couch with her in love. So spake he and departed to the glorious tribes of men, but Poseidon he set on yet more to bear aid to the Danaans.

In the shields that are best in the host and largest let us harness ourselves, and our heads let us cover with helms all-gleaming, and in our hands take the longest spears, and so go forth.

So spake he, and they readily hearkened to him, and obeyed. And the kings themselves, albeit they were wounded, set them in array 14.380. even the son of Tydeus, and Odysseus, and Atreus' son Agamemnon. And going throughout all the host, they made exchange of battle-gear. In good armour did the good warrior harness him, and to the worse they gave the worse.

Verily it is for naught that thou hast ears for hearing, and thine understanding and sense of right are gone from thee. 15.126. and she took from his strong hand the spear of bronze, and set it down, and with words rebuked furious Ares:Thou madman, distraught of wit, thou art beside thyself!

For he will forthwith leave the Trojans, high of heart, and the Achaeans, and will hie him to Olympus to set us all in tumult, and will lay hands upon each in turn, the guilty alike and him in whom is no guilt.

But Hera called Apollo forth from out the hall, and Iris, that is the messenger of the immortal gods; 15.141. or will yet be slain; and a hard thing it is to preserve the lineage and offspring of men.

When she had thus spoken queenly Hera returned again 15.151. and sate her down upon her throne; and the twain sprang up and sped forth upon their way. To many-fountained Ida they came, mother of wild beasts, and found Zeus, whose voice is borne afar, seated on topmost Gargarus; and about him a fragrant cloud was wreathed. The twain then came before the face of Zeus, the cloud-gatherer 15.158. and at sight of them his heart waxed nowise wroth, for that they had speedily obeyed the words of his dear wife. And to Iris first he spake winged words:Up, go, swift Iris; unto the lord Poseidon bear thou all these tidings, and see thou tell him true. 15.159. and at sight of them his heart waxed nowise wroth, for that they had speedily obeyed the words of his dear wife. And to Iris first he spake winged words:Up, go, swift Iris; unto the lord Poseidon bear thou all these tidings, and see thou tell him true. 15.160.

Yet his heart counteth it but a little thing to declare himself the peer of me of whom even the other gods are adread.

Howbeit even yet, declareth one of the gods that stood by my side, is Zeus, the counsellor most high, our helper in the fight. 17.336.

For thy mother is daughter of Zeus, and his of the old man of the sea. Nay, bear thou straight against him thy stubborn bronze, nor let him anywise turn thee back with words of contempt and with threatenings. 20.106. to the gods that are for ever; for of thee too men say that thou wast born of Aphrodite, daughter of Zeus, while he is sprung from a lesser goddess.

So saying he breathed great might into the shepherd of the host, and he strode amid the foremost fighters, harnessed in flaming bronze.

All we are come down from Olympus to mingle in this battle, that Achilles take no hurt among the Trojans for this days' space; but thereafter shall he suffer whatever Fate spun for him with her thread at his birth, when his mother bare him. But if Achilles learn not this from some voice of the gods 20.130. he shall have dread hereafter when some god shall come against him in battle; for hard are the gods to look upon when they appear in manifest presence. Then Poseidon, the Shaker of Earth, answered her:Hera, be not thou wroth beyond what is wise; thou needest not at all. I verily were not fain to make gods chash 20.131. he shall have dread hereafter when some god shall come against him in battle; for hard are the gods to look upon when they appear in manifest presence. Then Poseidon, the Shaker of Earth, answered her:Hera, be not thou wroth beyond what is wise; thou needest not at all. I verily were not fain to make gods chash 20.137. with gods in strife. Nay, for our part let us rather go apart from the track unto some place of outlook, and sit us there, and war shall be for men. But if so be Ares or Phoebus Apollo shall make beginning of fight, or shall keep Achilles in check and suffer him not to do battle 20.144. then forthwith from us likewise shall the strife of war arise; and right soon, methinks, shall they separate them from the battle and hie them back to Olympus, to the gathering of the other gods, vanquished beneath our hands perforce. So saying, the dark-haired god led the way 20.145. to the heaped-up wall of godlike Heracles, the high wall that the Trojans and Pallas Athene had builded for him, to the end that he might flee thither and escape from the monster of the deep, whenso the monster drave him from the seashore to the plain. There Poseidon and the other gods sate them down 20.146. to the heaped-up wall of godlike Heracles, the high wall that the Trojans and Pallas Athene had builded for him, to the end that he might flee thither and escape from the monster of the deep, whenso the monster drave him from the seashore to the plain.

There Poseidon and the other gods sate them down 20.154. and clothed their shoulders round about with a cloud that might not be rent; and they of the other part sat over against them on the brows of Callicolone, round about thee, O archer Phoebus, and Ares, sacker of cities.So sat they on either side devising counsels, but to make beginning of grievous war 20.164. even Aeneas, Anchises' son, and goodly Achilles. Aeneas first strode forth with threatening mien, his heavy hem nodding above him; his valorous shield he held before his breast, and he brandished a spear of bronze. And on the other side the son of Peleus rushed against him him like a lion 20.165. a ravening lion that men are fain to slay, even a whole folk that be gathered together; and he at the first recking naught of them goeth his way, but when one of the youths swift in battle hath smitten him with a spear-cast, then he gathereth himself open-mouthed, and foam cometh forth about his teeth, and in his heart his valiant spirit groaneth 20.200.

So spake she, and Athene sped in pursuit, glad at heart, and rushing upon her she smote Aphrodite on the breast with her stout hand; 21.421.

So the twain lay upon the bounteous earth, and vaunting over them Athene spake winged words:In such plight let all now be that are aiders of the Trojans when they fight against the mail-clad Argives 21.426. and her knees were loosened where she stood, and her heart melted.

But unto Apollo spake the lord Poseidon, the Shaker of Earth:Phoebus, wherefore do we twain stand aloof? It beseemeth not, seeing others have begun. Nay, it were the more shameful, if without fighting we should fare back to Olympus, to the house of Zeus with threshold of bronze. Begin, since thou art the younger; 21.436.

But when at length the glad seasons were bringing to its end the term of our hire, then did dread Laomedon defraud us twain of all hire, and send us away with a threatening word.

The others by now were together in the halls of Olympian Zeus. The father of men and gods began speaking to them, for in his heart he recalled noble Aegisthus 1.30. whom far-famed Orestes Agamemnonides had slain. Remembering him, he addressed these words to the immortals: “Humph! How mortals now blame gods, for they say that evils are from us. Yet they themselves have woes beyond their lot by their own recklessness 1.35. as even now, beyond his lot, Aegisthusmarried Atreides' wedded wife and killed him when he came home, sure of sheer destruction, after we told him beforehand, sending Hermes, sharp-sighted Argeiphontes, to neither woo his wife nor kill him 1.40. for there'd be revenge, from Atreides' son Orestes, when he came of age and longed for his own land. So Hermes said, but he didn't win over the mind of Aegisthus, though he meant well. Now he's paid for it all all together.” Then bright-eyed goddess Athena answered him: 1.45. “Our father Cronides, your highness most supreme, just as that one lies in fitting destruction, may also any other one who does such things so perish! But my heart is troubled about skilled Odysseus, the ill-fated one, who, away from his loved ones a long time already, suffers misery 1.50. on a sea-girt island, where the sea's navel is. The island is forested, and on it a goddess makes her home, the daughter of malign Atlas, he who knows the depths of every sea and by himself holds the tall pillars that hold apart heaven and earth. 1.55. His daughter detains the unfortunate lamenter, and ever with soft and wheedling words enchants him in such a way that he'll forget Ithaca. But Odysseus, eager for even the sight of smoke rising from his land, longs to die. But there's now no care at all for him 1.60. in your dear heart, Olympian. Did not Odysseusplease you he when he offered sacrifice beside the Argive ships in wide Troy? Why now, Zeus, are you so incensed with him?” Cloud-gatherer Zeus said to her in reply: “My child, what kind of talk has fled your wall of teeth? 1.65. How could I ever forget godlike Odysseus, who is superior among mortals in mind and in giving sacrifice to the immortal gods who hold wide heaven? But earth-embracing Poseidon is ever relentless in his rage because of the Cyclops whose eye Odysseus blinded 1.70. godlike Polyphemus, whose strength is greatest of all Cyclops. The nymph Thoosa bore him. Daughter of Phorkys, ruler of the barren sea, she joined in hollow caves with Poseidon. Earth-shaker Poseidon does not kill Odysseus on his account 1.75. but does drive him away from his father's land. But come, let all of us contrive his return for him, as he wishes. Poseidon will let go of his anger, for he'll no way be able to contend alone, opposed to all immortals, against the will of the gods.” 1.80. Then bright-eyed goddess Athena answered him: “Our father Cronides, your highness most supreme, if this is now pleasing to the blessed gods, that ingenious Odysseus would return to his home, then let's dispatch Hermes, the runner Argeiphontes 1.85. to the island of Ogygia, to clearly speak most quickly to the fair-haired nymph our will, the return home of steadfast Odysseus, so that he may go. Then I'll go to Ithaca, to spur his son on more, and I'll put the courage in his heart 1.90. to call the hairy-headed Achaeans to assembly and speak out to all the suitors, who are always slaughtering his thick-thronging sheep and shambling curved-horned cattle. I'll send him to Sparta and to sandy Pylos, to learn of his dear father's return home, in hope he'll somehow hear 1.95. and so he'll have good repute among men.” So saying, beneath her feet she tied fine sandals, ambrosial, golden ones, that bore her, over water and boundless land, with the breezes of the wind. She grabbed a sharp spear, edged with sharp bronze 1.100. heavy, long, and thick, with which she routs regiments of men, heroes against whom the great father's daughter bears resentment. In a rush she came down from the peaks of Olympus, and in the kingdom of Ithaca stood at the doorway of Odysseus, at the courtyard's threshold. She held the bronze spear in her palm 1.105. disguised as a stranger, the Taphian chief Mentes. Next she found the manly suitors, who were then amusing their hearts with pebbles in front of the gate, sitting on hides of oxen that they'd killed. They had heralds and deft henchmen 1.110. ome who mixed wine and water in mixing bowls, while some, with sponges full of holes, cleaned and set the tables and others cut up lots of meat. Godlike Telemachus was first by far to see her, for he sat among the suitors, dear heart grieving 1.115. eeing in his mind his good father, in hope he'd come from somewhere, make a scattering of the suitors throughout the house, and himself have honor and rule over his possessions. Sitting among the suitors thinking this, he caught sight of Athena. He made straight for the front doorway, displeased at heart 1.120. that a stranger stand a long time at the door. He stood close, took her right hand, and accepted her bronze spear. And, voicing winged words, he said to her: “Welcome, stranger, you'll be treated kindly by us, then when you've eaten supper, you can tell us what you need.” 1.125. So saying, he led the way, and Pallas Athena followed. When they were inside the lofty dwelling he stood the spear he carried against a tall pillar, inside a well-wrought spear rack, where many spears of steadfast Odysseus stood as well. 1.130. He led her to a fine ornamented chair, spread a cloth beneath her, and sat her down. There was a footstool underneath her feet. He set himself a variegated couch beside her, apart from the others, the suitors, lest the stranger, distressed by the din and coming among the haughty, not be satisfied with supper 1.135. and so he could ask her about his absent father. A handmaid brought water for washing in a fine golden pitcher and poured it above a silver basin so they could wash, then pulled a polished table beside them. A venerable housekeeper brought bread and set it before them 1.140. placing many foods on it, pleasing them from her stores. A carver raised and placed before them platters of meats of all kinds and put golden cups beside them. A herald came often and poured wine for them. In came the manly suitors. Then, as they 1.145. at down in rows on chairs and couches, heralds poured water on their hands, slaves heaped bread in baskets beside them, and boys filled mixing bowls to the brim with drink. They threw their hands on the good things laid ready before them. 1.150. Then after the suitors had dispatched desire for food and drink, other things caught their minds' attention, the performance and the dance, for they accompany a feast. A herald placed a gorgeous cithara into the hands of Phemius, who sang, under duress, for the suitors. 1.155. Playing the lyre, he began to sing beautifully, but Telemachus said to bright-eyed Athena, holding his head close so others couldn't hear him: “Dear stranger, will you resent me for what I'm going to say? These things, the cithara and song, interest them 1.160. easily, since they eat without payment the substance of another, of a man whose white bones rot somewhere in a storm, lying on dry land or rolling in the waves of the sea. If they saw that one returning home to Ithaca, all would pray to be lighter on their feet 1.165. than to be richer in raiment and gold. Now he's perished by an evil fate, and we have no comfort, even if some earthly man tells us he will come. His day of homecoming is done for. But come, tell me this, and recount it exactly. 1.170. What man and from where are you? Where are your city and parents? In what kind of ship did you arrive and how did sailors bring you to Ithaca? Who did they claim to be? For I don't at all think you reached here on foot. And speak this truly to me, so I may know well 1.175. whether you're just visiting or are also a hereditary guest-friend, since many other men used to come to our house when that one too was one who had dealings with mankind.” Bright-eyed goddess Athena said back to him: “So then, I'll tell this to you quite exactly. 1.180. I claim I'm Mentes, son of skilled Anchialus, and I rule over the oar-loving Taphians. I've come this way now with my ship and comrades, sailing on the wine-dark sea to men of another language, to Temese, after copper, and I bring gleaming iron. 1.185. My ship stands over there, in the country, away from the city, in Rheithron harbor beneath wooded Neion. We claim that we're hereditary guest-friends of each other from of old. Just go and ask the old man, hero Laertes, whom they say no longer come 1.190. to town, but suffers misery on his farm far away, with an old woman handmaid who puts food and drink beside him whenever exhaustion takes hold of his limbs, as he crawls up the hill of his wine-bearing plot. Now I've come, for they said your father was at home 1.195. but, indeed, the gods impede him on his path. For divine Odysseus has not yet died on land, but still alive somewhere, he's held back by the wide sea on a sea-girt island. Hard men hold him, savages, who detain him against his will. 1.200. But I'll now prophesy to you, as the immortals put it in my heart and as I think that it will happen, though I'm neither a seer nor clearly know about birds of omen. He surely won't be away much longer from his beloved fatherland, not even if bonds of iron hold him. 1.205. Since he's resourceful, he'll figure out how to return. But come, tell me this, and recount it exactly, whether, big as you are, you're the son of Odysseus himself. You're terribly like him in your head and fine eyes, since we every so often got together with each other 1.210. before he went to Troy, where the rest of the best of the Argives went in their hollow ships. Since then, I've not seen Odysseus nor has he seen me.” Astute Telemachus said back to her in answer: “Well then, I'll tell you, stranger, quite exactly. 1.215. My mother says I'm his, but I don't know, for no one ever knows for sure his parentage. Would that I were the blessed son of some man whom old age came upon among his possessions. But, he who's been the unluckiest of all men 1.220. his they say I am, since you ask me about this.” Bright-eyed goddess Athena said back to him: “The gods did not establish your line to be nameless hereafter, since Penelope gave birth to such as you. But come, tell me this, and recount it exactly. 1.225. What meal, what gathering is this? What has it to do with you? A banquet or a wedding, since this is not a meal hosted by many? They seem to me to dine haughtily, like wantons, throughout the house. Any sensible man who came to visit would be outraged seeing these many shameful deeds!” 1.230. Astute Telemachus said back to her in turn: “Stranger, since you question me and ask about this, once upon a time this house was going to be rich and noble, when that man was at home. Now the gods, scheming evil, have willed otherwise; 1.235. they've made him the most invisible of all men. I wouldn't grieve so for him even if he'd died, if he'd been tamed among his comrades in the Trojans' land or in the hands of loved ones after he wound up the war. The Panachaeans would have made a grave mound for him 1.240. and he'd have won great fame hereafter even for his son. But now the Snatchers [Harpies] have snatched him without tidings. He goes, unseen, unheard of, and has left me pain and lamentation. But I don't only lament and grieve for him now, since the gods have made other evil troubles for me 1.245. for all the nobles who rule over the islands of Doulichion, Same, and wooded Zacynthus, and all who hold sway throughout rugged Ithaca, all these woo my mother and consume my house. She neither refuses hateful marriage nor can make 1.250. an end of it. They, by their eating, are wasting away my house. Quite soon they'll smash me to pieces, too.” Finding this intolerable, Pallas Athena said to him: “Humph! You fall far short of absent Odysseus, who'd lay his hands on shameless suitors 1.255. if he came and stood now in the front door of his home, holding a helmet, a shield and two spears, as he was when I first saw him drinking and enjoying himself in our house, on his return from Ephyre and Ilus Mermerides. 1.260. For he'd gone there in a swift ship searching for a man-killing drug, to have it to rub on bronze-tipped arrows. Ilus didn't give it to him, since he feared the gods who are forever, but my father gave it to him, for he loved him terribly. 1.265. Should such an Odysseus engage the suitors, all would be bitterly betrothed and swiftly doomed. But indeed, these things lie on gods' knees, whether he'll return, and make them pay in his palace, or he won't. I urge you to consider 1.270. how to drive the suitors out of the palace. Come now, hear and heed my words. Tomorrow, call the Achaean heroes to assembly, declare your will to all, and the gods will be witnesses to it. Order the suitors to disperse to their own places 1.275. and order your mother, if her heart moves her to marry, to go immediately to her powerful father's great palace. They'll arrange the wedding and assemble many bride gifts, just as many as should follow a dear daughter. I'll advise you shrewdly, if you'll trust me. 1.280. Rig a ship, the best you can, with twenty oars, and go inquire about your father, so long on his way. Perhaps some mortal may tell you, or you may hear a rumor from Zeus, which very often carries news to men. First go to Pylos and ask divine Nestor 1.285. and from there go to Sparta, to blond Menelaus, for of the bronze-clad Achaeans he was last to come home. If you hear of your father's survival and return, though you'd be impoverished, you should still hold out a year, but if you hear he's dead and no longer alive 1.290. you should then return to your beloved fatherland, pile up a barrow for him on which to pay his last rights, as many, very many, as are fitting, and give your mother to a husband. But once you've carried these things out and done them, consider then in your mind and heart 1.295. how to slay the suitors in your palace by guile or openly. You must not in any way indulge in childish ways, since you're no longer of an age for that. Haven't you heard what kind of fame divine Orestes won among all mankind, after he slew his father's killer 1.300. cunning Aegisthus, who'd slain his famous father? You too, my friend, for I clearly see you're big and handsome, be staunch, so those born after will speak well of you. But I'll go down to my swift ship and comrades, who are likely quite impatient waiting for me. 1.305. Keep this in your mind and heed my words.” Astute Telemachus said back to her in answer: “Stranger, truly, you say these things with kindly thought, like a father to his son, and I will never forget them. But come now, stay a while, though you're eager for your journey 1.310. o that bathed and with dear heart at ease, you'll go to your ship glad at heart, with a gift, a precious, very fine one, that you'll have as a keepsake from me, the kind dear guest-friends give to guest-friends.” Then bright-eyed goddess Athena answered him: 1.315. “Detain me now no longer, as I do want to be on my way. Whatever gift your dear heart bids you give me, give it, to be taken home, on my way back, and pick a very fine one. You'll get one worth it in exchange.” So saying, bright-eyed Athena departed 1.320. as a bird flies up and away, and she put in his heart confidence and courage, and caused him to think of his father even more than before. When he thought it over in his mind he was astounded in his heart, for he supposed it was a god. The godlike man at once approached the suitors. 2.150. but when they reached the middle of the loud-voiced assembly, they whirled around, flapping their thick wings, then came toward the heads of all, and foreboded destruction. Tearing about with their talons at their cheeks and throats, they shot off to the right, across the homes and city of the men. 2.155. They were astounded at the birds when they saw them with their eyes, and pondered in their heart just what was going to happen. And among them spoke an old man, the hero HalithersesMastorides, for he uniquely surpassed those of his generation in understanding birds and explaining omens. 2.160. With good intent, he spoke and said to them: “Hear me now, Ithacans, hear what I say! I speak mostly to the suitors when I declare these things, since great trouble rolls toward them, for Odysseuswill not long be far from his loved ones, instead, he's likely near 2.385. and ordered them to gather at the swift ship in the evening. Then she asked Noemon, the brilliant son of Phronius, for a swift ship, and he in earnest promised it to her. And the sun went down, and all the ways were dark. Right then she hauled the swift ship to the sea and stowed 3.175. to Euboea, so we'd escape the soonest from distress. A whistling fair wind at once began to blow. Our ships very quickly crossed the fishy ways and brought us at night into Geraestus. We offered many bulls' thighs to Poseidon, since we'd measured the great sea. 4.795. Then bright-eyed goddess Athena thought of something else. She created a phantom and in shape it looked like a woman, Iphthime, the daughter of great-hearted Icarius, whom Eumelus, who had a house in Pherae, wed. She sent it to the home of divine Odysseus 4.800. to stop the wailing and lamenting Penelopefrom her weeping and tearful lamentation. It entered the bedroom past the bolt's strap, stood above her head, and said to her: “Are you sleeping, Penelope, your dear heart sorrowing? 4.805. No, the gods who live easily won't let you grieve and cry, since your son is still to have homecoming, for he's not at all a sinner in gods' eyes.” Then prudent Penelope answered her, as she very sweetly slumbered at the gate of dreams: 4.810. “Why have you come here, sister? You didn't visit much at all before, since you have a home so very far away. And you bid me cease from my grief and the many sorrows that distress me in my mind and heart, I, who first lost my lion-hearted husband 4.815. who excelled among Danaans in all kinds of good qualities, a good man, whose fame is wide throughout Hellas and middle Argos. Now again, my lovable son has gone aboard a hollow ship, a child who knows well neither hard works nor assemblies. I grieve for him even more than for the other. 4.820. I tremble for him and fear lest he suffer something in the kingdom of those where he's gone or on the sea. For many enemies are plotting against him, eager to kill him before he reaches his fatherland.” The faint phantom said to her in reply: 4.825. “Take heart, and don't in any way at all fear too much in your mind, for such an escort goes with him, whom even other men would pray to stand beside them, for she has power, Pallas Athena. She feels pity for you in your lamentation. She sent me now to tell these things to you.” 4.830. Prudent Penelope said back to her: “If then you are a god and have heard the goddess's voice, then come tell me also of that wretched one, whether he's still alive somewhere and sees the light of the sun or is already dead and in the house of Hades.” 4.835. The faint phantom said to her in reply: “I won't tell you in detail about that one, whether he's dead or alive. It's bad to talk like empty wind.” So saying, it glided past the bolt of the doorpost into gusts of winds. The daughter of Icarius got up 4.840. from sleep and her dear heart was warmed that a clear dream had sped to her in the gloom of night. The suitors went aboard and sailed on the watery ways, pondering in their minds sheer slaughter for Telemachus. There's a certain rocky island in the middle of the sea 5.5. Athena spoke to them, Odysseus' many troubles on her mind, for his being in the nymph's home troubled her: “Father Zeus, and other blessed gods who are forever, Let no sceptered king ever be earnestly gentle and kind, or know justice in his mind 5.10. but may he always be hard and do injustice, seeing that none of the people whom he ruled remembers godlike Odysseus, who was kind as a father to them. But he lies on an island, suffering mighty sorrows in the palace of nymph Calypso, who holds him back 5.15. by force. He's unable to reach his fatherland, for he hasn't oared ships or comrades at his side to convoy him on the broad back of the sea. Now they intend to kill his lovable son on his way home. He went after news of his father 5.20. to sacred Pylos and divine Lacedaemon.” Cloud-gatherer Zeus said to her in reply: “My child, what kind of talk is this that's fled your wall of teeth? Didn't you yourself recommend this plan, that Odysseus surely come and take vengeance on those men? 5.25. Escort Telemachus skillfully, since you can, so, quite unscathed he gets to his fatherland and the suitors in their ship go back where they came from.” He spoke, then facing Hermes, his beloved son, he said: “Hermes, since you're our messenger for other things 5.30. to the fair-haired nymph clearly speak our will, the return home of steadfast Odysseus, so he may go, without escort of gods or mortal men. Instead, he'll suffer miseries on a well-bound raft and reach fertile Scheria on the twentieth day 5.35. the land of the Phaeacians, who are close to the gods, who will honor him exceedingly in their heart like a god, then will send him in a ship to his beloved fatherland, and give him bronze, and gold aplenty, and clothing, lots of it, and Odysseus could never have taken this much from Troy 5.40. even if he'd gone unharmed and obtained his share of spoils. For it's his lot to see his loved ones and reach his high-roofed house and fatherland.” So said he, and runner Argeiphontes did not disobey him. At once he tied fine sandals underneath his feet 5.45. ambrosial, golden ones, that bore him, over water and boundless land, with the breezes of the wind. He raised his wand, with which he enchants the eyes of men, of those he wishes, and wakes up again the sleeping. Mighty Argeiphontes held it in his hands and flew. 5.50. Stepping on Pieria from the upper air he fell upon the sea, then sped over the waves like a bird, a cormorant, that as it catches fish, down through the deep gulfs of the barren sea, wets its thick feathers in the brine. Like this, Hermes rode the many waves. 5.55. But when he reached that island, which was far away, then he stepped out of the violet sea upon the land and went until he reached the great cave in which the fair-haired nymph lived. He found her inside. A great fire was burning on the hearth, and the scent 5.60. of split cedar and pine spread throughout the island as they burned. She was singing in a beautiful voice inside as she plied the loom and wove with a golden shuttle. A luxuriant wood grew around the cave, alder, and aspen, and fragrant cypress. 5.65. Birds with long wings nested there, owls, and hawks, and long-tongued crows, sea crows, who care about works upon the sea. Right there, around the hollow cave, stretched a vine in youthful vigor blooming with clusters of grapes. 5.70. Four fountains in a row flowed with white water, next to each other, but turned in different directions. Soft meadows of violet and parsley bloomed about them. Even an immortal, after coming there, would gaze in admiration at what he saw and be delighted in his mind. 5.75. Runner Argeiphontes stood there and gazed in admiration. Then after he'd gazed at it all with his heart, he went at once into the wide cave, and when she saw him face to face, the goddess divine, Calypso, did not not recognize him, for gods are not unknown to each other 5.80. as immortals, not even if one lives in a home far away. But he didn't see great-hearted Odysseus inside, since he was sitting on the shore crying, there as before, rending his heart with tears and groans and sorrows, shedding tears as he looked out upon the barren sea. 5.85. The goddess divine, Calypso, questioned Hermeswhen she'd seated him in a shiny bright chair: “Why have you come to me, Hermes of the golden wand, venerable and dear one? You haven't often come at all before. Speak whatever's on your mind. My heart orders me do it 5.90. if do it I can, and if it can be done. But come further, so I can lay guest fare beside you.” So saying, the goddess set a table beside him, filled it with ambrosia, and mixed red nectar. Then runner Argeiphontes ate and drank. 5.95. Then after he'd dined and satisfied his appetite with food, right then he said to her in answer: “You ask me, goddess, why a god has come, so I'll tell you the story infallibly, since you bid me. Zeus ordered me to come here, though I didn't want to. 5.100. Who'd run across so much briny water? It's immense! Nor is there nearby any mortals' city, who offer sacrifices and choice hecatombs to gods. But there's surely no way for another god to transgress or disappoint the mind of Aegis-bearer Zeus. 5.105. He says the man with you is the most wretched of those others, of the men who battled around Priam's city for nine years, then sacked the city in the tenth, and headed home. But on their return home they sinned against Athena, who roused an evil wind and tall waves against them. 5.110. All the rest of his good comrades perished there, but wind and waves bore and drove him here. Zeus has ordered that you send him off as soon as possible, for it's not this one's destiny to perish far away from his loved ones, but it's still his lot to see his loved ones and reach 5.115. his high-roofed house and fatherland.” So said he, then the goddess divine, Calypso, shuddered, and voicing winged words, she said to him: “You are merciless, you gods, jealous beyond others, who resent goddesses that bed beside men 5.120. openly, if any makes a beloved one her spouse. So, when rose-fingered Dawn took Orion for herself, you gods who live easily resented her until in Ortygia chaste golden-throned Artemisattacked with her painless darts and killed him. 5.125. So, when fair-haired Demeter yielded to her heart and mixed with Iasion in making love and love in a thrice-plowed fallow field, but not for long was Zeusunhearing of it, who struck him with white lightning and killed him. So again now, gods, you resent me for being with a mortal man 5.130. whom I saved when he was sprawled around his keel, alone, after Zeus impeded and split his swift ship with white lightning in the midst of the wine-dark sea. All the rest of his good comrades perished there, but wind and waves bore and drove him here. 5.135. I loved and cared for him and promised to make him immortal and ageless all his days. But, since there's no way for another god to transgress or disappoint the mind of Aegis-bearer Zeus, let him be gone, if he urges and bids it 5.140. upon the barren sea, but I won't convoy him anywhere, for I haven't oared ships or comrades at my side to convoy him on the broad back of the sea, but I'll earnestly advise him, and not conceal it, so, quite unscathed, he'll get to his fatherland.” 5.145. Runner Argeiphontes said back to her: “Send him off now in this way, and respect the wrath of Zeus, lest he somehow in resentment be hard with you hereafter.” So saying, mighty Argeiphontes departed. The lady nymph went to great-hearted Odysseu 5.295. East Wind and South Wind, and ill-blowing West Wind, and North Wind, born of the upper air and rolling a great wave, fell together. Right then Odysseus' knees and dear heart were undone, and troubled, he said to his own great-hearted spirit: “Oh my, wretched me, what surely may become of me at last? 5.300. I fear the goddess spoke everything infallibly, who said that on the sea, before I reached my fatherland, I'd have my fill of sorrows, which are now all come to pass. Zeus wreathes wide heaven with such clouds and troubles the sea, and windstorms, of all kinds of winds 5.305. rush upon me. Sheer destruction is certain now for me! Three and four times blessed were the Danaans, who perished back then in wide Troy bringing favor to the Atreidae, as I wish I'd died and met my fate on that day when the greatest number of Trojan 5.310. threw bronzed-tipped spears at me around the dead Peleion. Then I'd have had funeral honors and Achaeans would have spread my fame, but it had been fated that I now be caught by dismal death.” As he said so, a great wave drove down on him from above, and rushing at him dreadfully, spun his raft around. 5.315. He himself fell far away from the raft and threw the steering oar from his hands. A dread windstorm came, of winds mixing together, and snapped his mast in the middle, and the sail and yardarm fell far off into the sea. The storm kept him underwater for a long time, and he wasn't able 5.320. to emerge from under the wave's great onset very soon, for the clothing divine Calypso gave him weighed him down. He came up at last, and spit brine from his mouth, bitter brine that gushed in great quantity from his head. But even so, he didn't forget his raft despite his distress 5.325. but he rushed after it in the waves, grabbed hold of it, and sat down in the middle to avoid the doom of death. A great wave carried her to and fro through the current. As when in late summer North Wind carries thistles over the plain, and they hold on in clusters to each other 5.330. o the winds bore her to and fro on the sea. At one time South Wind would cast it to North Wind to carry, at another, East Wind would yield to West Wind to drive it. Cadmus' daughter, fair-ankled Ino, saw him, Leucothea, who was a mortal of human speech before 5.365. While he was turning this over in his mind and heart, Earth-shaker Poseidon raised a great wave, dread and grievous, overarching, and drove it against him. As a stormy wind shakes a heap of dried chaff and scatters it in one direction and another 5.370. o it scattered the long timbers. Then Odysseusstraddled one timber, as if riding a horse, and took off the clothes divine Calypso gave him. At once he stretched the veil beneath his chest, dropped down headfirst into the sea, and spread out his arms 6.15. She made her way to a richly-adorned chamber, in which a girl, like immortals in shape and form, slept, the daughter of great-hearted Alcinous, Nausicaa; and beside her, two handmaids, having beauty from the Graces, on each side of the doorposts. The shining doors were shut. 6.20. Like a breath of wind, she rushed to the girl's bed, stood above her head, and said to her, disguised as ship-famed Dymas' daughter, who was the same age and dear to her heart. Imitating that one, bright-eyed Athena said to her: 6.25. “Nausicaa, why did your mother bear you, careless one? Your glittering clothes lie neglected, but your wedding is nigh, so you must wear fine clothes yourself and provide them to those who attend you. For, from these things, good credit rises up for you 6.30. among men, and your father and lady mother rejoice. So let's go do laundry as soon as dawn appears, and I'll come along with you as workmate, so you can get ready very quickly, since you won't be a maiden much longer. For already, throughout all Phaeacian districts 6.35. nobles woo you, since their race is yours, too. But come, urge your famous father early in the morning to ready mules and wagon, to take girdles, robes and glittering fabrics. And, going this way is much better for you than on foot 6.40. ince the washing places are quite far from the city. So saying, bright-eyed Athena departed for Olympus, where they say the gods' abode is firm forever. It is not shaken by winds or ever wet by rain, and snow does not come near it, rather, cloudless clear air 6.45. preads, and white sunlight plays, upon it. In it the blessed gods take pleasure every day. There the bright-eyed one departed, after she talked to the girl. Straightaway came fair-throned Dawn, who woke fair-robed Nausicaa. She marveled much at once about the dream 7.20. in the guise of a young maiden woman holding a pitcher. She stood in front of him, and divine Odysseus asked her: “Child, won't you guide me to the house of the man Alcinous, who rules among these people? For I've come here a much-suffering stranger 7.25. from afar, from a distant country. I therefore know none of the people who inhabit this city and farmland. Bright-eyed goddess Athena said back to him: “So then, father stranger, the house you bid me I'll show you, since he lives close by my noble father. 7.30. But go in total silence, and I'll lead the way, and neither look at nor question any person, for they do not gladly suffer stranger men nor hospitably welcome one who comes from elsewhere. With confidence in their swift fleet ships 7.35. they traverse the great gulf, since the earth-shaker gave it to them. Their ships are fleet as feather or thought. So saying, Pallas Athena led quickly, and he followed in the footsteps of the goddess. The ship-famed Phaeacians did not notice him 7.40. going among them through their city, for fair-haired Athena, dread goddess, did not allow it, so she poured on him a marvelous mist, with dear thoughts in her heart. Odysseus marveled at the trim ships and the harbors, the assembly places of the heroes themselves, and the long 7.45. lofty walls, joined by palisades, a wonder to behold. But when he reached the house of the renowned king, bright-eyed Athena was the first of them to speak: “This, father stranger, is the house you bid me show you. You'll find Zeus-nurtured kings there 7.50. dining at dinner. Go in, and don't be at all frightened at heart, for the undaunted man turns out to be better in all actions, even if he comes from somewhere else. First, go find the mistress in the palace. Arete is the name she's named by, and she's from the same 7.55. ancestors who gave birth to king Alcinous. First earth-shaker Poseidon and Periboea, the best looking of women, gave birth to Nausithous. She was the youngest daughter of great-hearted Eurymedon, who once was king over the insolent Giants. 7.60. Though he lost his reckless people and perished himself, Poseidon mixed with her, and she bore a son, great-hearted Nausithous, who ruled over the Phaeacians. Nausithous fathered Rhexenor and Alcinous. Silverbow Apollo struck him down in his hall, newly married 7.65. and without a son, and he left only one child, Arete, whom Alcinous made his wife. And he valued her as no other woman on earth is valued, of all who now keep house under husbands. So she has been, and still is, honored above them 7.70. in the heart of her dear children, Alcinous himself, and her people, who view her as a goddess and welcome her with speeches when she walks through the city. For she herself in no way lacks good sense, and she dissolves disputes for those, even men, to whom she's well disposed. 7.75. For if she, in her heart, thinks friendly thoughts for you, then there's hope for you, that you'll see your loved ones and reach your high-roofed house and fatherland.” So saying, bright-eyed Athena departed over the barren sea. She left lovely Scheria 8.10. and as she stood beside each person, she said to him: “Come on, Phaeacian chiefs and commanders, go to the assembly, to find out about the stranger, who recently reached the house of skilled Alcinousafter wandering the sea, one like immortals in form!” 8.80. in sacred Pytho, when he'd stepped over the stone threshold to ask the oracle. For at that time the start of misery was rolling, toward Danaans and Trojans, on account of great Zeus' will. This the far-famed singer sang, but Odysseusgrasped the great purple cloak with his well-knit hands 8.195. “Even a blind man, stranger, could make out this mark by groping for it, since it's not at all mixed in the group, but is the first by far. Take heart, at least for this game. None of the Phaeacians will reach or throw beyond it.” So said she, and long-suffering divine Odysseus rejoiced 8.270. and bedding of lord Hephaestus, to whom a messenger soon came, Helios, who'd noticed them mingling in love. Hephaestus heard the story, so painful to his heart, then made his way to the forge, brooding evil in his mind, placed a great anvil on the anvil block, and hammered bonds 8.275. unbreakable, indissoluble, so they'd stay fast in place. Then after he fashioned the snare, enraged at Ares, he made his way to the chamber where his dear bed lay, and spread the bindings about the bedposts in a circle all around. Many hung down from the ceiling, too 8.280. as fine as spider webs, that not even a blessed god could see, for with exceeding cunning they'd been made. Then after he'd spread the snare all around the bed, he left to go to Lemnos, the well-built citadel which is to him by far the most beloved of all lands. 8.285. But gold-reined Ares did not keep a blind man's watch, so he saw the famed artisan Hephaestus as he went away. He made his way to the house of far-famed Hephaestus, craving faired-crowned Cytherea's love. She'd just come from the side of mighty Cronion, her father 8.290. and was sitting down as Ares came into the house. He put his hand in hers, called out her name, and said: “Come here, my dear, to bed. Let's lie down and take pleasure, for Hephaestus is no longer home, but is already gone, to Lemnos, I believe, to see the savage-speaking Sintians.” 8.295. So said he, and going to bed seemed welcome to her. The two climbed into bed and fell asleep. About them flowed the cunningly contrived bonds of ingenious Hephaestus, and there was no way to either move or lift their limbs. Right then they realized there would be no escape. 8.300. Then the far-famed twice-lamed one came near them, having turned back before he reached the land of Lemnos, for Helios was keeping lookout for him and sent word. He made his way home, his dear heart grieving, stood in the doorway, and fierce anger seized him. 8.305. He cried out terribly and made himself heard by all the gods: “Father Zeus, and the rest of you blessed gods who are forever, come here, to see ludicrous and intolerable things, how Zeus' daughter Aphrodite always dishonors me, because I'm lame, and loves annihilating Ares 8.310. because he's handsome and sound-footed but I myself was born infirm. But I have no one else to blame but my two parents, whom I wish had never had me. But you'll see for yourselves, how these two climbed into my bed and went to sleep in love, and I'm in grief at the sight. 8.315. I don't expect they'll lie this way a moment longer, though very much in love. Both soon won't want to sleep, but the bonds and snare will restrain them until her father pays back to me fully the whole bride price, all I put in his palm for his dog-eyed girl 8.320. ince he has a beautiful daughter, but she has no self-restraint.” So said he, and the gods gathered at the bronze-floored house. Earth-holder Poseidon came. Helper Hermescame. Far-worker lord Apollo came. The female goddesses each stayed home out of shame. 8.325. The gods, givers of good things, stood in the doorway. Uncontrollable laughter broke out among the blessed gods as they looked at the handiwork of ingenious Hephaestus. In this way, glancing at another near him, one would say: “Bad deeds do not prosper. The slow, indeed, overtakes the swift 8.330. as even now Hephaestus, slow as he is, lame as he is, by craft has seized Ares, though he's the swiftest of the gods who hold Olympus, so Ares owes the fine for adultery.” So they said such things to one another, then the son of Zeus lord Apollo said to Hermes: 8.335. “Hermes, son of Zeus, runner, giver of good things, would you really be willing, crushed in mighty bonds, to sleep in bed beside golden Aphrodite?” Then the runner Argeiphontes answered him: “If only this would happen, far-shooter lord Apollo! 8.340. Three times as many inextricable bonds could be about me, and all you gods and goddesses could watch, but I'd sleep beside golden Aphrodite!” So said he, and laughter broke out among the gods immortal. But laughter did not hold Poseidon, who ever implored 8.345. the famed worker Hephaestus to free Ares. And, voicing winged words, he said to him: “Free him. I promise you he'll pay as you demand, all that's just among the gods immortal.” The far-famed twice-lamed one said back to him: 8.350. “Earth-holder Poseidon, don't bid me do this. The guarantees of wretches are wretched guarantees. How would I bind you among the gods immortal if Ares leaves and avoids his bond and obligation?” Earth-shaker Poseidon said back to him: 8.355. “Hephaestus, if Ares does avoid his obligation and leaves in flight, I myself will pay you.” Then the far-famed twice-lamed one answered him: “It's not possible or proper that your word be denied.” So saying, good soul Hephaestus released the bonds. 8.360. After he'd freed them from bondage, mighty as it was, the two sprang up at once, and Ares made his way to Thracewhile smile-loving Aphrodite went to Cyprus, to Paphos, where she had an estate and fragrant altar. There the Graces bathed and anointed her with immortal 8.365. olive oil, such as bedecks the gods who are forever, and put lovely raiment round her, a wonder to behold. This the far-famed singer sang, and Odysseusin his mind enjoyed listening, as did the others, the long-oared Phaeacians, ship-famed men. 8.465. Would Hera's loud-thundering husband Zeus now make it so, that I go home and see homecoming day, I'd pray to you then, even there, as to a goddess, always, every day, for you, my girl, have saved me!” He spoke and sat on a chair beside king Alcinous. 10.530. of the dead who've died will come. Then at that moment urge and order your comrades to skin and burn the sheep that lie there slaughtered by ruthless bronze, and to pray to the gods, to mighty Hades and dread Persephone. 10.535. You yourself, draw your sharp sword from beside your thigh and sit, but don't let the helpless heads of the dead go close to the blood before you question Teiresias. Then soon the seer, the leader of men, will come to you, who'll tell you the way and stages of your journey 11.230. And in my heart this plan seemed best, to draw my sharp-edged sword from beside my thick thigh and not let them all drink the dark blood at one time. They came near one after another, and each declared her birth. I questioned each and every one. 11.235. “I then saw Tyro first, daughter of a noble father, who claimed she was the offspring of noble Salmoneus, and claimed to be the wife of Cretheus Aeolides. She'd fallen in love with a river, divine Enipeus, who is by far the handsomest of rivers on the earth 11.240. and she used to haunt Enipeus' beautiful streams. Earth-holder, the Earth-Shaker, appeared like PRN id='Q949290'>Enipeus, and lay beside her in the mouth of the eddying river, and a purple wave stood around them, high as a mountain, curved over them, and hid the mortal woman and the god. 11.245. He loosed her maiden girdle, then poured sleep down upon her. Then after he'd completed his acts of love, he put his hand in hers, called out her name, and said: 'Woman, rejoice in our love. When the year goes round, you'll give birth to splendid children, since immortals' bedding 11.250. are not without results. Then, you, take care of them and rear them. But go home now, and keep quiet, and don't give my name, but I am indeed the Earth-shaker, Poseidon!' “So saying, he dove beneath the surging sea. She conceived and gave birth to Pelias and Neleus 11.255. both of whom became mighty cohorts of great Zeus. Pelias dwelt in spacious Iolcusand was rich in sheep, and the other dwelt in sandy Pylos. The queen of women then bore others to Cretheus, Aeson, Pheres, and Amythaon the chariot-fighter. 11.260. “Then after her I saw Antiope, daughter of Asopus, who boasted that she'd slept even in the arms of Zeus, and bore two sons, Amphion and Zethus, who were first to found the seat of seven-gated Thebes, and walled it, since they could not live in spacious Thebe 11.265. without a wall, even mighty as they were. “Then after her I saw Alcmene, wife of Amphitryon, who bore bold-spirited lion-hearted Heracles, and mixed in great Zeus' arms, and Megara, high-spirited Creon's daughter 11.270. whom Amphitryon's son, ever untiring in courage, had as wife. “I saw Oedipus' mother, beautiful Epicaste, who in ignorance of mind did a monstrous deed and married her own son, who'd killed his own father and married her, and the gods at once made this well known to men. 11.275. But while he suffered sorrows and ruled in much-loved Thebesover the Cadmeans through the fatal plans of gods, she came to the house Hades, the mighty Gatekeeper, having fastened a noose high from a lofty rafter, hung by her own sorrow. She left behind for Oedipu 11.280. o many sorrows, all that the Avengers of a mother make happen. “And I saw gorgeous Chloris, whom Neleus once married because of her beauty, after he gave her countless bride-gifts, the youngest daughter of Amphion Iasides, who ruled in power in Minyean Orchomenus once upon a time. 11.285. She was the queen of Pylos and bore Neleus splendid children, Nestor, Chromius, and lordly Periclymenus. In addition to them she bore mighty Pero, a wonder to mortals, whom all those who dwelt about Pylos wooed. But Neleusgave her to no one who wouldn't drive the broad-browed 11.290. curved-horned cattle of mighty Iphicles out of Phylace, ones difficult to drive. Only a noble seer undertook to drive them, but a god's harsh fate, hard bonds and rustic herdsmen, tied him down. But when at last days and months came to an end 11.295. a year came round again, and seasons arrived, right then mighty Iphicles freed him, since he'd told him all his prophecies, as Zeus's will was done. “And I saw Leda, the spouse of Tyndareus, who bore by Tyndareus two stouthearted sons 11.300. Castor the tamer of horses and Pollux good at boxing, The life-giving earth covers them both, alive, and even beneath the earth they have honor from Zeus, every other day they live, on the other day they die, and they've been granted honor equal to the gods. 11.305. “After her I beheld Iphimedea, the spouse of Aloeus, who used to say she'd mixed with Poseidon, and she'd given birth to two sons, but they were short-lived, godlike Otus and far-famed Ephialtes, whom the grain-giving earth bred tallest 11.310. and handsomest by far after only famed Orion. For at nine years old, they were at least nine cubits wide, then they became at least nine fathoms tall. They threatened even the immortals on Olympus, that they'd cause the combat of impetuous war. 11.315. They meant to put Ossa on top of Olympus, then trembling-leaved Pelion on Ossa, so heaven could be scaled. And they'd surely have done it, if they'd reached the full measure of manhood, but the son of Zeus, whom fair-haired Leto bore, destroyed them both, before whiskers bloomed 11.320. beneath their temples and covered their chins with budding down. “I saw Phaedra and Procris and beautiful Ariadne, the daughter of malevolent Minos, she whom Theseus brought from Crete to the hill of sacred Athens once upon a time, but had no joy of her before Artemis killed her 11.325. on sea-girt Dia, on the testimony of Dionysus. “I saw Maera and Clymene and loathsome Eriphyle, who accepted precious gold for her beloved husband's life. I couldn't name or tell the story of them all, all the heroes' wives and daughters that I saw 11.330. before immortal night would wane. But it's now time to sleep, either at my swift ship, going to my comrades, or here where I am. My convoy is up to you and to the gods.” So said he, and all became silent in silence, spellbound throughout the shadowy hall. 13.125. Then they themselves went back home again, but Earth-shaker did not forget the threats with which he'd once threatened godlike Odysseus, and he asked about the will of Zeus: “Father Zeus, I'll no longer be honored among the gods immortal when mortals, Phaeacians, who are, indeed 13.130. of my own line, value me as nothing. For I even now declared that Odysseus should suffer many sorrows on his way home, but I never completely deprived him of his return, since you once promised it and nodded. They brought him sleeping in a swift ship on the sea 13.135. and put him down in Ithaca, and gave him indescribable gifts, bronze, gold aplenty, and woven raiment, lots of it, and Odysseus could never have taken this much from Troyeven if he'd gone unharmed and obtained his share of spoils.” Cloud-gatherer Zeus said to him in reply: 13.140. “Humph! What a thing you've said, widely-powerful Earth-shaker! The gods don't dishonor you in any way. It would be hard to assail with indignities our eldest and our best. But if ever any man, giving way to might and violence, values you as nothing, vengeance is yours ever after. 13.145. Do as you will and what's dear to your heart.” Then Earth-shaker Poseidon answered him: “I'd have done it at once, dark-clouded one, as you say, but I always hold in awe your temper and avoid it. Now in turn I want to wreck a gorgeous ship 13.150. of Phaeacians returning from a convey on the misty sea, so they're stopped and desist from the convoy of men, and to wrap a great mountain around their city.” Cloud-gatherer Zeus said to him in reply: “Hmmm. To my mind, this way seems to be best. 13.155. When all the people are looking from the city at the ship driving on, when she's near land, turn her into a stone that resembles a swift ship, so each and every man may look in wonder, then wrap a great mountain around their city.” Then after Earth-shaker Poseidon heard this 13.160. he made his way to Scheria, where the Phaeacians are born, and waited there. The seafaring ship came very near, quickly following. Earth-shaker came near her, turned her into stone, and rooted her below with a thrust of the flat of his hand. Then he went away. 13.225. She had sandals beneath her sleek feet and a javelin in her hands. Odysseus rejoiced at the sight of her and came to face her, and, voicing winged words, he said to her: “Friend, since you're the first that I've met in this place, hello, and may you not at all meet me with evil intent 13.230. but save these things, and save me. For I pray to you as to a god, and I come to your dear knees. And tell me this truly, so I'll know it well. What land is this, what kingdom, what men are born here? Is it perhaps some clear island or some headland 13.235. that lies sloping from the fertile mainland to the sea? Bright-eyed goddess Athena said back to him: “Stranger, you're a fool, or come from far away, if you ask about this land. In truth, it's not at all nameless, but very many know it 13.240. both those who dwell towards the dawn and sun and those back towards the murky darkness. Yes, it's rocky and not fit for horses, but it's not too poor, though it isn't built wide, for there's unlimited food on it, and wine on it, too. 13.245. There's always rain and luxuriant dew. It's good for grazing goats and cattle. There's woodland of all kinds, and watering places in it that never fail. Because of this, stranger, the name of Ithaca reaches even to Troy, though they say that's far away from Achaean land.” 13.250. So said he, and long-suffering divine Odysseus was glad, and rejoiced in the land of his fathers, as Pallas Athena, aegis-bearer Zeus's daughter, spoke to him. And, voicing winged words, he spoke to her, but he didn't tell the truth, but took his words back 13.255. always applying the very wily mind in his chest: “I heard of Ithaca even in wide Crete, far away over the sea. Now I've even come myself with these possessions. I left just as many with my children and fled, after I killed the dear son of Idomeneus 13.260. wift-of-foot Orsilochus, who in wide Crete defeated with his fast feet men who work for bread, because he wanted to rob me of all my Trojanbooty, for which I suffered sorrows in my heart, cutting through men's wars and painful waves 13.265. because I wouldn't please his father and serve as his cohort in the Trojan kingdom, but led others as my comrades. I struck him with my bronze-tipped spear as he came down from the fields, in ambush with a comrade near the road. A very dark night shrouded heaven, and no man 13.270. aw us, as, unnoticed, I took away his life. Then after I killed him with sharp bronze, I went at once to a ship, begged illustrious Phoenicians, and gave booty satisfactory to them. I bid them take me aboard and set me down in Pylo 13.275. or in divine Elis where the Epeians have power. But, indeed, the wind's force pushed them away from there much against their will, and they didn't want to deceive me, but, made to wander from there, we reached here at night. In haste we rowed into the harbor, and none of us had any 13.280. thought of dinner, though they very much needed to take it, but getting out of the ship as we were, all of us lay down. Then sweet sleep came upon me in my weariness, and they took my possessions from the hollow ship and set them down right where I myself lay on the sand. 13.285. They got aboard and went to well-inhabited Sidon, but I was left behind, grieving in my heart.” So said he, and bright-eyed goddess Athena smiled and caressed him with her hand. She appeared in the form of a beautiful tall woman skilled in splendid works. 13.290. And, voicing winged words, she said to him: “He'd have to be thievish and cunning to surpass you in all your wiles, even if it were a god who met you. Reckless one, intricate plotter, insatiable in your wiles, you wouldn't, even in your own land, forgo your fraud 13.295. and thievish words, that are, from the ground up, dear to you. But come, let's talk of this no longer. Both of us know cunning arts, since you're by far the best among all mortals in speeches and in counsel, while among all the gods I'm celebrated for cunning arts and wisdom. Yet you didn't recognize 13.300. Pallas Athena, the daughter of Zeus, who's ever by your side, and guards you in all your labors, and made you dear to all Phaeacians. Now here I've come again, to weave a plan with you, and to hide your possessions, the ones the illustrious Phaeacian 13.305. ent with you on your way homeward, by my plan and idea, and to tell you how many troubles it's your fate to endure in your well-built house. You must endure it, too, by necessity, and not speak out to any of them all, neither man nor woman, to the effect that you've come back from wandering, but you must 13.310. in silence suffer many sorrows, submitting to the violence of men. Adroit Odysseus said to her in reply: It's hard for a mortal, even a very knowing one, to recognize you, goddess, when he meets you, for you make yourself look like everything. But I know this well, that you were kind to me before 13.315. when we sons of the Achaeans warred in Troy. Then after we sacked Priam's lofty city and went off in our ships, a god scattered the Achaeans. I didn't see you then, daughter of Zeus, nor did I notice you come aboard my ship to ward off some sorrow from me. 13.320. Instead, I wandered, ever holding my torn heart in my mind, until the gods freed me from evil, until you, in the rich Phaeacian kingdom, encouraged me with your words and led me yourself to their city. Now I supplicate you before your father'for I don't think 13.325. I've come to clear Ithaca, but find myself in another land, and I think you're making fun of me, telling me these things to beguile my mind' tell me if I've truly reached my beloved fatherland.” Then bright-eyed goddess Athena answered him: 13.330. “You always have such thoughts in your chest, therefore I can't leave you, unhappy as you are, because you're well-mannered, keen-witted, and discreet. For gladly would another man, come from wandering, hasten to see his wife and children in his palace 13.335. but it's not yet dear to you to learn or to find out until you've tested your wife, who indeed sits as before in your palace, and forever for her, unhappy days and nights pass by as she sheds tears. But I never doubted it, instead, in my heart 13.340. I knew that you'd return after losing all your comrades. But I didn't want to fight with Poseidon, my father's brother, who put resentment in his heart for you, enraged that you blinded his beloved son. But come, I'll show you the seat of Ithaca, so you'll believe me. 13.345. This is the harbor of Phorcys, the old man of the sea, and this the long-leaved olive tree at the harbor's head and near it a pleasant dusky cave, sacred to the nymphs who are called Naiads. This is the wide cave with the vaulted roof where you offered 13.350. many perfect hecatombs to nymphs, and this is Neriton, a mountain clothed in forest.” So saying, the goddess scattered the mist and the land appeared. Long-suffering divine Odysseus was glad then, rejoicing in his land, and kissed the grain-giving ground. 13.355. Lifting up his arms, he prayed immediately to the nymphs: “Naiad nymphs, daughters of Zeus, I never thought I'd see you again. I greet you now with gentle prayers. And we'll give you gifts, too, just as before, if Zeus's daughter who grants spoils graciously allow 13.360. me to go on living and nurtures my dear son.” Bright-eyed goddess Athena said back to him: “Take heart, don't let these things concern your mind, instead, let's put your possessions right now in a corner of the marvelous cave so they'll stay safe for you 13.365. then let ourselves consider how things best by far may happen.” So saying, the goddess entered the shadowy cave, searching through the cave for hiding places. Then Odysseusbrought everything near, the gold and indestructible bronze and the well-made raiment the Phaeacians gave him 13.370. and stowed it well away. Then Aegis-bearer Zeus's daughter Pallas Athena placed a stone as a door. The two sat down beside the base of the sacred olive tree and planned destruction for the haughty suitors. Bright-eyed goddess Athena was the first of them to speak: 13.375. “Zeus-born Laertiades, resourceful Odysseus, consider how to lay your hands upon the shameless suitors, who for the past three years have ruled throughout your hall, wooing your godlike wife, and giving her bride gifts. Yet she ever mourns in her heart for your return 13.380. while she offers hope to all and makes promises to each man, sending messages, but her mind is intent on other things. Adroit Odysseus said to her in reply: “Hmmm. Very surely, I was going to perish in my palace by the evil fate of Atreides Agamemnon 13.385. if you, goddess, hadn't duly told me every thing. But come, weave a plan, how I can take revenge on them, then stand yourself beside me and put dauntless courage in me, just as when we destroyed the sleek battlements of Troy. If you'd as eagerly stand by me, bright-eyes 13.390. I'd do battle, even with three hundred men, along with you, lady goddess, if you'd help me zealously. Then bright-eyed goddess Athena answered him: “In truth, I will be with you and I won't forget you when we labor at these things. And I think some 13.395. will spatter the ground unspeakably with blood and brain, some of the suitor men, who devour your substance. But come, I'll make you unrecognizable to all mortals. I'll shrivel the beautiful flesh on your supple limbs, destroy the blond hair from your head, and dress you in tatter 13.400. o the man who sees you wearing them will loathe you. I'll deform your eyes, that were gorgeous before, so you'll look despicable to all the suitors and to your wife and son, whom you left in your palace. First of all, you yourself go to the swineherd 13.405. who's the guardian of your pigs, thinks so kindly of you, and loves your son and discreet Penelope. You'll find him sitting by his pigs, who are feeding by the rock of Corax and at Arethusa spring, eating many tasty acorns and drinking the black water 13.410. things that, for pigs, thicken their luxuriant lard. Stay there, and sit beside him, and ask about everything, while I go to Sparta where the women are beautiful and summon Telemachus, your beloved son, Odysseus, who went to spacious Lacedaemon, to Menelaus 13.415. to find out news of you, whether you were still anywhere alive.” Adroit Odysseus said to her in reply: “Why didn't you tell him, you who in your mind know all? Perhaps it was so he'd too suffer sorrows, wandering on the barren sea, while others ate his substance?” 13.420. Then bright-eyed goddess Athena answered him: “Don't let him be too much on your mind. I myself escorted him, so he win good fame by going there. So he has no hard work, but sits at ease in the house of Atreides, and abundance lies beside him. 13.425. Yes, young men wait in ambush in a black ship, eager to kill him before he reaches his fatherland, but I don't expect that at all. Rather, the earth will cover some of the suitor men, who devour your substance.” So saying, Athena touched him with her wand. 13.430. She shriveled the beautiful flesh on his supple limbs, destroyed the blond hair from his head, and placed about all his limbs the skin of an aged old man. She deformed his eyes, that were gorgeous before, then threw about him a rag, a different, foul one, and a tunic 13.435. tattered, filthy things, soiled with foul smoke. She dressed the hide of a swift deer, stripped of hair, about him, then gave him a staff and an unseemly pouch, full of holes. A twisted cord was on it as a strap. So the two plotted and parted. She then 15.160. As he spoke, a bird flew toward him on the right, an eagle, carrying a huge white goose in his talons, a tame one from the courtyard. Men and women followed it, shouting. As it came near them, it darted to the right, in front of the horses. The people rejoiced 15.165. as they saw it, and the spirit in all their hearts was warmed. Peisistratus Nestorides was the first of them to speak: “Tell now, Zeus-nurtured Menelaus, leader of men, whether a god made this sign appear for us two or for you.” So said he, and Ares-loved Menelaus pondered 15.170. thinking how he might duly interpret it for him. Anticipating him, long-robed Helen said: “Hear me. I'll prophesy now, as the immortals put it in my heart and as I think that it will happen. As this one seized a goose raised in the house 15.175. coming from the mountain where he had his birth and birthplace, so Odysseus, though he's suffered much and wandered far, will return home and take revenge. Or, he's even home already, and plants evil for all the suitors.” Astute Telemachus said back to her in turn: 15.180. “Would Hera's loud-thundering husband Zeus now make it so, I'd pray to you then, even there, as to a goddess!” He spoke, and threw the whip at the horses. They very quickly darted through the city, eagerly toward the plain. Now all day long they shook the yoke as they held it on both sides. 15.525. As he spoke, a bird flew toward him on the right, a falcon, Apollo's swift messenger. It was plucking a dove it held in its feet, and was shedding feathers on the ground between the ship and Telemachus himself. Theoclymenus called him away from his comrades 15.530. put his hand in his, called out his name, and said: “Telemachus, surely not against god's will the bird flew on the right. For I knew, when I look him in the face, he was a bird of omen. There's no other race more kingly than your race in the kingdom of Ithaca, no, you'll always be mighty.” 16.155. in his hands, tied them beneath his feet, and went to the city. Nor did Athena miss swineherd Eumaeus as he went from the farmhouse, but she came near. She appeared in the form of a beautiful tall woman skilled in splendid works, She stood opposite hut's door and appeared to Odysseus 16.160. but Telemachus didn't see or notice her in front of him, for gods don't at all appear visible to everyone, but Odysseus saw her, and the dogs, too, and they didn't bark, but fled with a whimper to the other side of the farmhouse. She beckoned at him with her eybrows, and Odysseus noticed 16.165. then came out of the hall, beyond the yard's great wall, and stood before her. Athena said to him: “Zeus-born Laertiades, resourceful Odysseus, declare your will to your son now and don't conceal it, so when you two have concocted death and doom for the suitor 16.170. you may go to the far-famed city. And I myself won't be away from you for long, for I'm very eager to battle.” Athena spoke and touched him with her golden wand. First she placed a well-cleaned cloak and tunic about his chest, then increased his form and youthful vigor. 16.175. He again became swarthy, then his jaws filled out, and the beard about his chin got dark. She went back when she'd done so, then Odysseuswent into the hut. His dear son was amazed at him, cast his eyes in the other direction, lest he be a god 16.180. and, voicing winged words, said to him: “You now look different to me, stranger, than you were before. You have other clothing and your skin's no longer the same. Surely you're some god, one of those who rule wide heaven. But be gracious, so we can give you pleasing victim 17.545. Don't you see my son has sneezed at all my words? Therefore, death will not be unaccomplished for the suitors, for every single one of them, and none will avoid death and its agents. I'll tell you something else, and you put it in your mind. If I perceive that he tells everything infallibly 17.550. I'll dress him in fine clothing, a cloak and tunic.” So said she, and the swineherd went when he heard her words, stood close to Odysseus, and spoke winged words to him: “Father stranger, prudent Penelope, the mother of Telemachus, summons you, and her heart bids her ask you something 19.510. for, of course, it will soon be the hour of sweet sleep, for whomever sweet sleep takes hold of, even one who's troubled. But a divinity gave even me immeasurable sadness. For my days I indulge in mourning and lamenting, as I see to my works and my handmaids' in my house. 19.515. Then after night comes, and sleep takes hold of all, I lie in bed, and thick about my throbbing heart sharp anxieties disturb me in my mourning. As when Pandareus' daughter, the greenwood nightingale, sings beautifully when spring has just begun 19.520. itting in the thick leaves of the trees, who, often varying her voice of many tones, pours out in mourning for her beloved son Itylus, the son of lord Zethus, whom she killed on account of folly once upon a time, so my heart, too, stirs two ways, to and fro 19.525. whether to stay by my son and watch steadily over all, my property, my slaves, and my great high-roofed house, out of respect for my husband's bed and the kingdom's opinion, or go now with whatever Achaean best woos me in my palace and gives me bride gifts uncountable 19.530. but my son, while he was still a child and simple-minded, didn't let me marry a husband and leave our home behind, but now, when he's big and he's reached the measure of manhood, he, too, prays that I'll go back out of our hall, and is vexed about our property, that the Achaeans are devouring. 19.535. But come, hear and interpret this dream of mine. Twenty geese, out the of water, are eating wheat throughout the house, and I warm in looking at them. Then a big eagle, with a hooked beak, came from a mountain, broke all their necks, and killed them. They'd been piled 19.540. in a heap in my palace, but he was raised to the divine sky. Then I cried and wailed, in my dream, that is, and the fair-haired Achaean women gathered about me, as I pitiably lamented that an eagle killed my geese. The eagle came back and sat down on a jutting roof-beam 19.545. then in a mortal voice he restrained me and said: 'Take heart, far-famed Icarius' daughter! It's not a dream, but a vision, a good one, that will come to pass for you. The geese are the suitors, and I, your eagle, who was a bird before, am now your husband who's come back 19.550. who'll let loose shameful doom on all the suitors.' So said he, then honey-sweet sleep released me and I looked about and saw the geese in my palace, feeding on wheat from a trough, just where they did before.” Adroit Odysseus said to her in reply: 19.560. Yes indeed, stranger, dreams are wayward things, hard to understand, and don't at all completely come to pass for men. For there are two gates of evanescent dreams. One is made of horn; the other, of ivory. The dreams that come through the sawn ivory 19.565. are ones that deceive and bear words not to be fulfilled. The ones that come outside through the polished horn, are ones that make true things come true, when some mortal sees them. But I don't suppose my grim dream came from there. Ah, it would have been a welcome one for me and for my son. 19.575. Then he'd stand a long way off and shoot an arrow through them. Now I'll set this as a contest for the suitors. He who can most easily string the bow in his palms and shoot an arrow through the axes, all twelve of them, that one I'll go with, forsaking this home 19.580. my wedded one, a very fine one, full of substance, that I think I'll remember forever, even in my dreams.” Adroit Odysseus said to her in reply: “Venerable wife of Laertiades Odysseus, No longer now delay this contest in your home 20.70. Hera gave them looks and sense beyond all women, chaste Artemis gave them stature, and Athena taught them to work splendid works. While divine Aphrodite was on her way to tall Olympus, to ask for a decision on a prosperous marriage for the girls 20.85. but sleep holds the nights, for it makes one forget everything, good and bad, once it covers both eyelids, but even the dreams a divinity has sent me are evil ones. For this night again, one like him slept beside me, as he was when he went with the army. Then my heart rejoiced 20.90. ince I didn't think it was a dream, but reality at last.” So said she, and golden-throned Dawn immediately came. Divine Odysseus heard her voice as she cried, and pondered thereafter, and in his heart it seemed that she'd already recognized him and was standing by his head. 20.105. A miller woman sent a word of omen from a house nearby, where the mills sat for the shepherd of people, with which twelve women in all worked hard to make barley and wheat flour, the marrow of men. The rest were sleeping, since they'd ground their wheat. 20.110. She was the only one who hadn't stopped yet and was the weakest. She stopped her mill and spoke a word, a sign to her master: “Father Zeus, who are lord over gods and men, yes, you thundered loudly from the starry heaven, but there's no cloud anywhere. You show this as a portent to someone. 20.115. Now make the word that I would say come true, for even wretched me. May the suitors this day, for the last and final time, take their lovely dinner in the palace of Odysseus, those who undid my knees with heart-grieving toil making barley meal. May they now dine their last!” 20.120. So said she, and divine Odysseus rejoiced at her omen, and at Zeus's thunder, for he thought he'd make the sinners pay. The rest of the slave women, throughout Odysseus' fine house, had gathered and were kindling untiring fire at the hearth. Telemachus got up from bed, a man equal to the gods 20.240. So as they said such things to each other, the suitors were arranging death and doom for Telemachus, but a bird came to them on the left, an eagle flying high, and it held a timorous dove. Amphinomus spoke and said among them: 22.205. The daughter of Zeus, Athena, came close to them, disguised as Mentor both in form and voice, Odysseus was glad to see her and he said: “Mentor, ward off harm, and remember your dear comrade, who did good things for you. You're the same age I am.” 22.210. So said he, but he suspected it was Athena, the rouser of hosts. In the palace, on the other side, the suitors shouted at her. Agelaus Damastorides was the first to rebuke her: “Mentor, don't let Odysseus beguile you with his words to battle with us suitors and come to his defense. 22.215. For I think our will will be done in this way. Whenever we kill these men, the father and his son, you'll be slain among them after that, for what you're eager to do in the palace. You'll pay for it with your head! Then after we take away your lives with bronze 22.220. your possessions, all you have, what's inside and what's outside, we'll mix in with those of Odysseus. And we won't let your sons live in your palace, or your daughters or wedded wife go about the city of Ithaca.” So said he, and Athena became more enraged at heart 22.225. and she rebuked Odysseus with words of rage: “You no longer have the steady fury nor any of the mettle such as when, for white-armed Helen, daughter of a noble father, you fought for nine years, ever constantly, against the Trojansand killed many men in grim hostilities 22.230. and broad-streeted Priam's city was captured by your counsel. Why now, when you've reached your home and your possessions, do you bemoan being staunch against the suitors? But come here, pal, stand beside me and take a look at my work, so you'll see what kind of man, among hostile men, you have 22.235. in Mentor Alcimides, for paying back your kindness!” She spoke, and didn't yet completely grant victory by other strength, but she still tested the strength and mettle of both Odysseus and his gloried son. She herself sprang up to a rafter of the smoky hall 22.240. and sat, disguised in appearance as a swallow. Agelaus Damastorides spurred on the suitors, as did Eurynomus, Amphimedon, Demoptolemus, Peisander Polyctorides, and skilled Polybus, for they were by far the best in valor of the suitors 22.245. the ones still alive and fighting for their lives, but by now the bow and arrows, thick and fast, had tamed others. Agelaus then spoke among the suitors and declared to all of them: “My friends, this man will soon now stay his irresistible hands. What's more, Mentor, after speaking empty boasts to him, has gone 22.250. and they're left by themselves at the front doors. So, don't all of you throw your long spears at them at the same time, but come, you six throw first, in hope that Zeuswill grant that Odysseus be struck and you win glory. There'll be no trouble from the others, after this one falls.” 22.255. So said he, and all threw as he ordered, eagerly, but Athena made all unsuccessful. One of them hit a well-made doorpost of the hall, another hit the closely-fitting door, and another's ash spear, heavy with bronze, sank in the wall. 22.260. Then after they'd avoided the spears of the suitors long-suffering divine Odysseus was the first of them to speak: “My friends, it's time, I'd say, for us, too, to throw our spears into the throng of suitors, who're eager to strip us of our armor, on top of their earlier evils.” 22.265. So said he, and all aimed and threw their sharp spears straight at them. Odysseus killed Demoptolemus; Telemachus, Eurydamus; the swineherd, Elatus; the ox herdsman man, Peisander, who all grabbed the vast ground with their teeth 22.270. as the other suitors withdrew into a corner of the hall. They took their spears out of the corpses and charged them. Again the suitors threw their sharp spears, eagerly, but Athena made all unsuccessful. One of them hit a well-made doorpost of the hall 22.275. another hit the closely-fitting door, and another's ash spear, heavy with bronze, sank in the wall. Amphimedon struck Telemachus on the arm, at the wrist, a glancing blow, and the bronze bruised the skin on top. Ctesippus grazed Eumaeus on the shoulder, above his shield 22.310. Leodas rushed at Odysseus, grabbed him by the knees, said winged words to him, and begged: “I beg you by your knees, Odysseus! Respect me and have mercy on me, for I say I never said or did anything wicked to any woman in your palace. Instead, I even tried to stop 22.320. Then adroit Odysseus said to him with a scowl: “If you claim to be a diviner among them, you must have prayed often in my palace, I suppose, that the moment of my sweet return be far away and that my dear wife go with you and bear you children. 22.325. Therefore, you shouldn't escape a bitterly painful death.” So saying, he seized with his thick hand a sword that lay there, the one Agelaus had dropped on the ground when he was killed. He struck him through the middle of the neck with it, and his head mixed with the dust as he spoke. 22.330. Terpiades, the minstrel, was still trying to avoid black doom, Phemius, who sang among the suitors by constraint. He stood holding his clear-toned lyre in his hands, close by the side door. He pondered two ways in his mind, whether to get out of the hall and sit beside great Zeus Herceius' 22.335. well-built altar, on which Laertes and Odysseushad often burned the thighs of oxen, or rush to Odysseus and beg him by his knees. This way seemed better to him as he thought about it, to grasp the knees of Odysseus Laertiades. 22.345. on me! You yourself will have grief later, if you murder a singer who sings for both the gods and men. I'm self-taught, but a god implants all kinds of songs in my mind, and I'm fit to sing to you as to a god, so don't be eager to cut my throat. 22.365. then rushed to Telemachus, grabbed him by knees, said winged words to him, and begged: “My friend, here I am! Hold! And tell your father to, lest, in his exceeding strength, he harms me with sharp bronze, in his anger with the suitor men who ravaged his possession 22.385. have hauled out of the grey sea with a well-meshed net onto a hollow beach, and all of them, longing for sea's waves, lie heaped upon the sand, while the shining sun takes the heart from them. So were the suitors heaped upon each other then. 22.415. not the good and not the bad, whoever came to them, so, by their very recklessness they've met their shameful doom. But come, recount to me the women in my palace, which ones dishonor me, and which are without guilt.” Dear nurse Eurycleia said back to him in turn: 22.460. and packed them in a narrow space from which there was no escape. Astute Telemachus was the first of them to speak: “I would not by a clean death take away the life of these, who heaped reproaches on my head and on our mother, and slept beside the suitors!” 22.465. So said he, and he fastened a dark-prowed ship's cable to a tall pillar and threw it around the dome, and pulled it tight, up high, lest any reach the ground with their feet. As when doves or long-winged thrushes fall into a snare that stands in a thicket 22.470. when they go to roost, and a loathesome bed welcomes them, so, in a row the women held their heads, and around all their necks were nooses, so they'd die most contemptibly. They gasped and struggled with their feet a little, not very long at all. They brought Melanthios up through the front door and courtyard 24.475. Will you bring to pass more evil warfare and grim combat or establish friendship between both sides?” Cloud-gatherer Zeus said to her in reply: “My child, why do you ask and question me about this? Didn't you yourself recommend this plan 24.480. that, yes indeed, Odysseus come and take vengeance on those men? Do as you want, but I'll tell you how it's fitting. Since divine Odysseus has punished the suitors, let them solemnly swear sure oaths, let him be king forever, and, in turn, let us make a forgetting of their sons' 24.485. and brothers' murder, then let them love each other, as it was before, and let there be peace and riches in abundance!” So saying, he spurred on the already eager Athena, and in a rush she came down from the peaks of Olympus. After they'd dispatched the desire for honey-hearted food 24.505. and spoke at once to Telemachus, his beloved son: “Telemachus, you'll know this now, as you yourself attack, where the best are chosen of the fighting men, don't in any way disgrace your fathers' line, who in the past excelled in manhood and in valor all over the earth.” 24.545. So said Athena, and he obeyed and rejoiced in his heart. She in turn made a treaty between both sides thereafter, Pallas Athena, daughter of Aegis-bearer Zeus, disguised as Mentor both in form and voice.

Thus she spake, and the prudent plan pleased Athena, and she addressed her in reply with gentle words: "Hera, my father begat me to be a stranger to the darts of love, nor do I know any charm to work desire. But if the word pleases thee, surely I will follow; but thou must speak when we meet her. 3.36. So she said, and starting forth they came to the mighty palace of Cypris, which her husband, the halt-footed god, had built for her when first he brought her from Zeus to be his wife. And entering the court they stood beneath the gallery of the chamber where the goddess prepared the couch of Hephaestus. But he had gone early to his forge and anvils to a broad cavern in a floating island where with the blast of flame he wrought all manner of curious work; and she all alone was sitting within, on an inlaid seat facing the door. And her white shoulders on each side were covered with the mantle of her hair and she was parting it with a golden comb and about to braid up the long tresses; but when she saw the goddesses before her, she stayed and called them within, and rose from her seat and placed them on couches. Then she herself sat down, and with her hands gathered up the locks still uncombed. And smiling she addressed them with crafty words: "Good friends, what intent, what occasion brings you here after so long? Why have ye come, not too frequent visitors before, chief among goddesses that ye are? 3.55. And to her Hera replied: "Thou dost mock us, but our hearts are stirred with calamity. For already on the river Phasis the son of Aeson moors his ship, he and his comrades in quest of the fleece. For all their sakes we fear terribly (for the task is nigh at hand) but most for Aeson's son. Him will I deliver, though he sail even to Hades to free Ixion below from his brazen chains, as far as strength lies in my limbs, so that Pelias may not mock at having escaped an evil doom — Pelias who left me unhonoured with sacrifice. Moreover Jason was greatly loved by me before, ever since at the mouth of Anaurus in flood, as I was making trial of men's righteousness, he met me on his return from the chase; and all the mountains and long ridged peaks were sprinkled with snow, and from them the torrents rolling down were rushing with a roar. And he took pity on me in the likeness of an old crone, and raising me on his shoulders himself bore me through the headlong tide. So he is honoured by me unceasingly; nor will Pelias pay the penalty of his outrage, unless thou wilt grant Jason his return. 3.76. Thus she spake, and speechlessness seized Cypris. And beholding Hera supplicating her she felt awe, and then addressed her with friendly words: "Dread goddess, may no viler thing than Cypris ever be found, if I disregard thy eager desire in word or deed, whatever my weak arms can effect; and let there be no favour in return. 3.83. She spake, and Hera again addressed her with prudence: "It is not in need of might or of strength that we have come. But just quietly bid thy boy charm Aeetes' daughter with love for Jason. For if she will aid him with her kindly counsel, easily do I think he will win the fleece of gold and return to Iolcus, for she is full of wiles. 3.90. Thus she spake, and Cypris addressed them both: "Hera and Athena, he will obey you rather than me. For unabashed though he is, there will be some slight shame in his eyes before you; but he has no respect for me, but ever slights me in contentious mood. And, overborne by his naughtiness, I purpose to break his ill-sounding arrows and his bow in his very sight. For in his anger he has threatened that if I shall not keep my hands off him while he still masters his temper, I shall have cause to blame myself thereafter. 3.100. So she spake, and the goddesses smiled and looked at each other. But Cypris again spoke, vexed at heart: "To others my sorrows are a jest; nor ought I to tell them to all; I know them too well myself. But now, since this pleases you both, I will make the attempt and coax him, and he will not say me nay. 3.106. Thus she spake, and Hera took her slender hand and gently smiling, replied: "Perform this task, Cytherea, straightway, as thou sayest; and be not angry or contend with thy boy; he will cease hereafter to vex thee. 4.1128. And straightway they mingled a bowl to the blessed ones, as is right, and reverently led sheep to the altar, and for that very night prepared for the maiden the bridal couch in the sacred cave, where once dwelt Macris, the daughter of Aristaeus, lord of honey, who discovered the works of bees and the fatness of the olive, the fruit of labour. She it was that first received in her bosom the Nysean son of Zeus in Abantian Euboea, and with honey moistened his parched lips when Hermes bore him out of the flame. And Hera beheld it, and in wrath drove her from the whole island. And she accordingly came to dwell far off, in the sacred cave of the Phaeacians, and granted boundless wealth to the inhabitants. There at that time did they spread a mighty couch; and thereon they laid the glittering fleece of gold, that so the marriage might be made honoured and the theme of song. And for them nymphs gathered flowers of varied hue and bore them thither in their white bosoms; and a splendour as of flame played round them all, such a light gleamed from the golden tufts. And in their eyes it kindled a sweet longing; yet for all her desire, awe withheld each one from laying her hand thereon. Some were called daughters of the river Aegaeus; others dwelt round the crests of the Meliteian mount; and others were woodland nymphs from the plains. For Hera herself, the spouse of Zeus, had sent them to do honour to Jason. That cave is to this day called the sacred cave of Medea, where they spread the fine and fragrant linen and brought these two together. And the heroes in their hands wielded their spears for war, lest first a host of foes should burst upon them for battle unawares, and, their heads enwreathed with leafy sprays, all in harmony, while Orpheus' harp rang clear, sang the marriage song at the entrance to the bridal chamber. Yet not in the house of Alcinous was the hero, Aeson's son, minded to complete his marriage, but in his father's hall when he had returned home to Iolcos; and such was the mind of Medea herself; but necessity led them to wed at this time. For never in truth do we tribes of woe-stricken mortals tread the path of delight with sure foot; but still some bitter affliction keeps pace with our joy. Wherefore they too, though their souls were melted with sweet love, were held by fear, whether the sentence of Alcinous would be fulfilled.

1.3. His son Ascanius was not old enough to assume the government but his throne remained secure throughout his minority. During that interval — such was Lavinia's force of character — though a woman was regent, the Latin State, and the kingdom of his father and grandfather, were preserved unimpaired for her son. [2] I will not discuss the question — for who could speak decisively about a matter of such extreme antiquity ? — whether the man whom the Julian house claim, under the name of Iulus, as the founder of their name, was this Ascanius or an older one than he, born of Creusa, whilst Ilium was still intact, and after its fall a sharer in his father's fortunes., This Ascanius, wherever born, or of whatever mother — it is generally agreed in any case that he was the son of Aeneas — left to his mother (or his stepmother) the city of Lavinium, which was for those days a prosperous and wealthy city, with a superabundant population, and built a new city at the foot of the Alban hills, which from its position, stretching along the side of the hill, was called ‘Alba Longa.’ [4] An interval of thirty years elapsed between the foundation of Lavinium and the colonisation of Alba Longa. Such had been the growth of the Latin power, mainly through the defeat of the Etruscans, that neither at the death of Aeneas, nor during the regency of Lavinia, nor during the immature years [5] of the reign of Ascanius, did either Mezentius and the Etruscans or any other of their neighbours venture to attack them., When terms of peace were being arranged, the river Albula, now called the Tiber, had been fixed as the boundary between the Etruscans and the Latins. [7] Ascanius was succeeded by his son Silvius, who by some chance had been born in the forest. He became the father of Aeneas Silvius, who in his turn had a son, Latinus Silvius. [8] He planted a number of colonies: the colonists were called Prisci Latini. The cognomen of Silvius was common to all the remaining kings of Alba, each of whom succeeded his father., Their names are Alba, Atys, Capys, Capetus, Tiberinus, who was drowned in crossing the Albula, and his name transferred to the river, which became henceforth the famous Tiber. Then came his son Agrippa, after him his son Romulus Silvius. He was struck by lightning and left the crown to his son Aventinus, whose shrine was on the hill which bears his name and is now a part of the city of Rome. [10] He was succeeded by Proca, who had two sons, Numitor and Amulius. To Numitor, the elder, he bequeathed the ancient throne of the Silvian house. Violence, however, proved stronger than either the father's will or the respect due to the brother's seniority; for Amulius expelled his brother and seized the crown. [11] Adding crime to crime, he murdered his brother's sons and made the daughter, Rea Silvia, a Vestal virgin; thus, under the pretence of honouring her, depriving her of all hopes of issue. 1.4. But the Fates had, I believe, already decreed the origin of this great city and the foundation of the mightiest empire under heaven. [2] The Vestal was forcibly violated and gave birth to twins. She named Mars as their father, either because she really believed it, or because the fault might appear less heinous if a deity were the cause of it., But neither gods nor men sheltered her or her babes from the king's cruelty; the priestess was thrown into prison, the boys were ordered to be thrown into the river. [4] By a heaven-sent chance it happened that the Tiber was then overflowing its banks, and stretches of standing water prevented any approach to the main channel. Those who were carrying the children expected that this stagt water would be sufficient to drown them, so under the impression that they were carrying out the king's orders they [5] exposed the boys at the nearest point of the overflow, where the Ficus Ruminalis (said to have been formerly called Romularis) now stands. The locality was then a wild solitude., The tradition goes on to say that after the floating cradle in which the boys had been exposed had been left by the retreating water on dry land, a thirsty she-wolf from the surrounding hills, attracted by the crying of the children, came to them, gave them her teats to suck and was so gentle towards them that the king's flock-master found her licking the boys with her tongue. According to the story his name was Faustulus. [7] He took the children to his hut and gave them to his wife Larentia to bring up. Some writers think that Larentia, from her unchaste life, had got the nickname of ‘She-wolf’ amongst the shepherds, and that this was the origin of the marvellous story. [8] As soon as the boys, thus born and thus brought up, grew to be young men they did not neglect their pastoral duties but their special delight was roaming through the woods on hunting expeditions., As their strength and courage were thus developed, they used not only to lie in wait for fierce beasts of prey, but they even attacked brigands when loaded with plunder. They distributed what they took amongst the shepherds, with whom, surrounded by a continually increasing body of young men, they associated themselves in their serious undertakings and in their sports and pastimes.

And to whate'er pursuit A man most clings absorbed, or what the affairs On which we theretofore have tarried much, And mind hath strained upon the more, we seem In sleep not rarely to go at the same. The lawyers seem to plead and cite decrees, Commanders they to fight and go at frays, Sailors to live in combat with the winds, And we ourselves indeed to make this book, And still to seek the nature of the world And set it down, when once discovered, here In these my country's leaves. Thus all pursuits, All arts in general seem in sleeps to mock And master the minds of men. And whosoever Day after day for long to games have given Attention undivided, still they keep (As oft we note), even when they've ceased to grasp Those games with their own senses, open paths Within the mind wherethrough the idol-films of just those games can come. And thus it is For many a day thereafter those appear Floating before the eyes, that even awake They think they view the dancers moving round Their supple limbs, and catch with both the ears The liquid song of harp and speaking chords, And view the same assembly on the seats, And manifold bright glories of the stage- So great the influence of pursuit and zest, And of the affairs wherein 'thas been the wont of men to be engaged-nor only men, But soothly all the animals. Behold, Thou'lt see the sturdy horses, though outstretched, Yet sweating in their sleep, and panting ever, And straining utmost strength, as if for prize, As if, with barriers opened now... And hounds of huntsmen oft in soft repose Yet toss asudden all their legs about, And growl and bark, and with their nostrils sniff The winds again, again, as though indeed They'd caught the scented foot-prints of wild beasts, And, even when wakened, often they pursue The phantom images of stags, as though They did perceive them fleeing on before, Until the illusion's shaken off and dogsCome to themselves again. And fawning breed of house-bred whelps do feel the sudden urge To shake their bodies and start from off the ground, As if beholding stranger-visages. And ever the fiercer be the stock, the more In sleep the same is ever bound to rage. But flee the divers tribes of birds and vex With sudden wings by night the groves of gods, When in their gentle slumbers they have dreamed of hawks in chase, aswooping on for fight. Again, the minds of mortals which perform With mighty motions mighty enterprises, often in sleep will do and dare the same In manner like. Kings take the towns by storm, Succumb to capture, battle on the field, Raise a wild cry as if their throats were cut Even then and there. And many wrestle on And groan with pains, and fill all regions round With mighty cries and wild, as if then gnawed By fangs of panther or of lion fierce. Many amid their slumbers talk about Their mighty enterprises, and have often Enough become the proof of their own crimes. Many meet death; many, as if headlong From lofty mountains tumbling down to earth With all their frame, are frenzied in their fright; And after sleep, as if still mad in mind, They scarce come to, confounded as they are By ferment of their frame. The thirsty man, Likewise, he sits beside delightful spring Or river and gulpeth down with gaping throat Nigh the whole stream. And oft the innocent young, By sleep o'ermastered, think they lift their dress By pail or public jordan and then void The water filtered down their frame entire And drench the Babylonian coverlets, Magnificently bright. Again, those males Into the surging channels of whose years Now first has passed the seed (engendered Within their members by the ripened days) Are in their sleep confronted from without By idol-images of some fair form- Tidings of glorious face and lovely bloom, Which stir and goad the regions turgid now With seed abundant; so that, as it were With all the matter acted duly out, They pour the billows of a potent stream And stain their garment.

1.12. Urbs antiqua fuit, Tyrii tenuere coloni 1.13. Karthago, Italiam contra Tiberinaque longe 1.14. ostia, dives opum studiisque asperrima belli; 1.15. quam Iuno fertur terris magis omnibus unam 1.16. posthabita coluisse Samo; hic illius arma 1.17. hic currus fuit; hoc regnum dea gentibus esse 1.18. si qua fata sit, iam tum tenditque fovetque. 1.19. Progeniem sed enim Troiano a sanguine duci 1.20. audierat, Tyrias olim quae verteret arces; 1.21. hinc populum late regem belloque superbum 1.22. venturum excidio Libyae: sic volvere Parcas. 1.23. Id metuens, veterisque memor Saturnia belli 1.24. prima quod ad Troiam pro caris gesserat Argis— 1.25. necdum etiam causae irarum saevique dolores 1.26. exciderant animo: manet alta mente repostum 1.27. iudicium Paridis spretaeque iniuria formae 1.28. et genus invisum, et rapti Ganymedis honores. 1.36. cum Iuno, aeternum servans sub pectore volnus 1.64. Ad quem tum Iuno supplex his vocibus usa est: 1.65. Aeole, namque tibi divom pater atque hominum rex 1.66. et mulcere dedit fluctus et tollere vento 1.67. gens inimica mihi Tyrrhenum navigat aequor 1.68. Ilium in Italiam portans victosque Penates: 1.69. incute vim ventis submersasque obrue puppes 1.70. aut age diversos et disiice corpora ponto. 1.71. Sunt mihi bis septem praestanti corpore nymphae 1.72. quarum quae forma pulcherrima Deiopea 1.73. conubio iungam stabili propriamque dicabo 1.74. omnis ut tecum meritis pro talibus annos 1.75. exigat, et pulchra faciat te prole parentem. 1.76. Aeolus haec contra: Tuus, O regina, quid optes 1.130. nec latuere doli fratrem Iunonis et irae. 1.132. Tantane vos generis tenuit fiducia vestri? 1.133. Iam caelum terramque meo sine numine, venti 1.134. miscere, et tantas audetis tollere moles? 1.135. Quos ego—sed motos praestat componere fluctus. 1.136. Post mihi non simili poena commissa luetis. 1.137. Maturate fugam, regique haec dicite vestro: 1.138. non illi imperium pelagi saevumque tridentem 1.139. sed mihi sorte datum. Tenet ille immania saxa 1.140. vestras, Eure, domos; illa se iactet in aula 1.141. Aeolus, et clauso ventorum carcere regnet. 3.435. unum illud tibi, nate dea, proque omnibus unum 3.436. praedicam, et repetens iterumque iterumque monebo: 3.437. Iunonis magnae primum prece numen adora; 3.438. Iunoni cane vota libens, dominamque potentem 3.439. supplicibus supera donis: sic denique victor 3.440. Trinacria finis Italos mittere relicta. 3.547. Iunoni Argivae iussos adolemus honores. 4.90. Quam simul ac tali persensit peste teneri 4.91. cara Iovis coniunx, nec famam obstare furori 4.92. talibus adgreditur Venerem Saturnia dictis: 4.93. Egregiam vero laudem et spolia ampla refertis 4.94. tuque puerque tuus, magnum et memorabile numen 4.95. una dolo divom si femina victa duorum est! 4.96. Nec me adeo fallit veritam te moenia nostra 4.97. suspectas habuisse domos Karthaginis altae. 4.98. Sed quis erit modus, aut quo nunc certamine tanto? 4.99. Quin potius pacem aeternam pactosque hymenaeos 4.100. exercemus? Habes, tota quod mente petisti: 4.101. ardet amans Dido, traxitque per ossa furorem. 4.102. Communem hunc ergo populum paribusque regamus 4.103. auspiciis; liceat Phrygio servire marito 4.104. dotalisque tuae Tyrios permittere dextrae. 4.105. Olli—sensit enim simulata mente locutam 4.106. quo regnum Italiae Libycas averteret oras— 4.107. sic contra est ingressa Venus: Quis talia demens 4.108. abnuat, aut tecum malit contendere bello 4.109. si modo, quod memoras, factum fortuna sequatur. 4.110. Sed fatis incerta feror, si Iuppiter unam 4.111. esse velit Tyriis urbem Troiaque profectis 4.112. miscerive probet populos, aut foedera iungi. 4.113. Tu coniunx tibi fas animum temptare precando. 4.114. Perge; sequar. Tum sic excepit regia Iuno: 4.115. Mecum erit iste labor: nunc qua ratione, quod instat 4.116. confieri possit, paucis, adverte, docebo. 4.117. Venatum Aeneas unaque miserrima Dido 4.118. in nemus ire parant, ubi primos crastinus ortus 4.119. extulerit Titan, radiisque retexerit orbem. 4.120. His ego nigrantem commixta grandine nimbum 4.121. dum trepidant alae, saltusque indagine cingunt 4.122. desuper infundam, et tonitru caelum omne ciebo. 4.123. Diffugient comites et nocte tegentur opaca: 4.124. speluncam Dido dux et Troianus eandem 4.125. devenient; adero, et, tua si mihi certa voluntas 4.126. 1.12. O Muse, the causes tell! What sacrilege 1.13. or vengeful sorrow, moved the heavenly Queen 1.14. to thrust on dangers dark and endless toil 1.15. a man whose largest honor in men's eyes 1.17. In ages gone an ancient city stood— 1.18. Carthage, a Tyrian seat, which from afar 1.19. made front on Italy and on the mouths 1.20. of Tiber 's stream; its wealth and revenues 1.21. were vast, and ruthless was its quest of war. 1.22. 'T is said that Juno, of all lands she loved 1.23. most cherished this,—not Samos ' self so dear. 1.24. Here were her arms, her chariot; even then 1.25. a throne of power o'er nations near and far 1.26. if Fate opposed not, 't was her darling hope 1.27. to 'stablish here; but anxiously she heard 1.28. that of the Trojan blood there was a breed 1.36. for her loved Greeks at Troy . Nor did she fail 1.64. cattered the ships, and ploughed the sea with storms. 1.65. Her foe, from his pierced breast out-breathing fire 1.66. in whirlwind on a deadly rock she flung. 1.67. But I, who move among the gods a queen 1.68. Jove's sister and his spouse, with one weak tribe 1.69. make war so long! Who now on Juno calls? 1.71. So, in her fevered heart complaining still 1.72. unto the storm-cloud land the goddess came 1.73. a region with wild whirlwinds in its womb 1.74. Aeolia named, where royal Aeolus 1.75. in a high-vaulted cavern keeps control 1.76. o'er warring winds and loud concourse of storms. 1.130. had fallen on Ilian fields, and given this life 1.132. of great Achilles, fiery Hector fell 1.133. and huge Sarpedon; where the Simois 1.134. in furious flood engulfed and whirled away 1.136. While thus he cried to Heaven, a shrieking blast 1.137. mote full upon the sail. Up surged the waves 1.138. to strike the very stars; in fragments flew 1.139. the shattered oars; the helpless vessel veered 1.140. and gave her broadside to the roaring flood 1.141. where watery mountains rose and burst and fell. 3.435. carce finding voice, her lips addressed me thus : 3.436. “Have I true vision? Bringest thou the word 3.437. of truth, O goddess-born? Art still in flesh? 3.438. Or if sweet light be fled, my Hector, where?” 3.439. With flood of tears she spoke, and all the grove 3.440. reechoed to her cry. Scarce could I frame 3.547. of thirty young, new littered, white like her 4.90. with many a votive gift; or, peering deep 4.91. into the victims' cloven sides, she read 4.92. the fate-revealing tokens trembling there. 4.93. How blind the hearts of prophets be! Alas! 4.94. of what avail be temples and fond prayers 4.95. to change a frenzied mind? Devouring ever 4.96. love's fire burns inward to her bones; she feels 4.97. quick in her breast the viewless, voiceless wound. 4.98. Ill-fated Dido ranges up and down 4.99. the spaces of her city, desperate 4.100. her life one flame—like arrow-stricken doe 4.101. through Cretan forest rashly wandering 4.102. pierced by a far-off shepherd, who pursues 4.103. with shafts, and leaves behind his light-winged steed 4.104. not knowing; while she scours the dark ravines 4.105. of Dicte and its woodlands; at her heart 4.106. the mortal barb irrevocably clings. 4.107. around her city's battlements she guides 4.108. aeneas, to make show of Sidon 's gold 4.109. and what her realm can boast; full oft her voice 4.110. essays to speak and frembling dies away: 4.111. or, when the daylight fades, she spreads anew 4.112. a royal banquet, and once more will plead 4.113. mad that she is, to hear the Trojan sorrow; 4.114. and with oblivious ravishment once more 4.115. hangs on his lips who tells; or when her guests 4.116. are scattered, and the wan moon's fading horn 4.117. bedims its ray, while many a sinking star 4.118. invites to slumber, there she weeps alone 4.119. in the deserted hall, and casts her down 4.120. on the cold couch he pressed. Her love from far 4.121. beholds her vanished hero and receives 4.122. his voice upon her ears; or to her breast 4.123. moved by a father's image in his child 4.124. he clasps Ascanius, seeking to deceive 4.125. her unblest passion so. Her enterprise 4.126. of tower and rampart stops: her martial host 4.127. no Ionger she reviews, nor fashions now 4.128. defensive haven and defiant wall; 4.160. a common city with the sons of Tyre 4.161. with mingling blood and sworn, perpetual peace. 4.162. His wife thou art; it is thy rightful due 4.163. to plead to know his mind. Go, ask him, then! 4.164. For humbly I obey!” With instant word 4.165. Juno the Queen replied: “Leave that to me! 4.166. But in what wise our urgent task and grave 4.167. may soon be sped, I will in brief unfold 4.168. to thine attending ear. A royal hunt 4.169. in sylvan shades unhappy Dido gives 4.170. for her Aeneas, when to-morrow's dawn 4.171. uplifts its earliest ray and Titan's beam 4.172. hall first unveil the world. But I will pour 12.793. its portals to the Trojan, or drag forth 12.840. the charioteer Metiscus, while she swayed

21. But should it be said that they only had fleshly forms, and possess blood and seed, and the affections of anger and sexual desire, even then we must regard such assertions as nonsensical and ridiculous; for there is neither anger, nor desire and appetite, nor procreative seed, in gods. Let them, then, have fleshly forms, but let them be superior to wrath and anger, that Athênâ may not be seen Burning with rage and inwardly angry with Jove; nor Hera appear thus:- Juno's breast Could not contain her rage. And let them be superior to grief:- A woeful sight my eyes behold: a man I love in flight around the walls! My heart For Hector grieves. For I call even men rude and stupid who give way to anger and grief. But when the father of men and gods mourns for his son - Woe, woe! That fate decrees my best belov'd Sarpedon, by Patroclus' hand to fall; and is not able while he mourns to rescue him from his peril:- The son of Jove, yet Jove preserv'd him not; who would not blame the folly of those who, with tales like these, are lovers of the gods, or rather, live without any god? Let them have fleshly forms, but let not Aphrodité be wounded by Diomedes in her body:- The haughty son of Tydeus, Diomed, Hath wounded me; or by Arês in her soul:- Me, awkward me, she scorns; and yields her charms To that fair lecher, the strong god of arms. The weapon pierced the flesh. He who was terrible in battle, the ally of Zeus against the Titans, is shown to be weaker than Diomedes:- He raged, as Mars, when brandishing his spear. Hush! Homer, a god never rages. But you describe the god to me as blood-stained, and the bane of mortals:- Mars, Mars, the bane of mortals, stained with blood; and you tell of his adultery and his bonds: - Then, nothing loth, th' enamour'd fair he led, And sunk transported on the conscious bed. Down rushed the toils. Do they not pour forth impious stuff of this sort in abundance concerning the gods? Ouranos is mutilated; Kronos is bound, and thrust down to Tartarus; the Titans revolt; Styx dies in battle: yea, they even represent them as mortal; they are in love with one another; they are in love with human beings:- Æneas, amid Ida's jutting peaks, Immortal Venus to Anchises bore. Are they not in love? Do they not suffer? Nay, verily, they are gods, and desire cannot touch them! Even though a god assume flesh in pursuance of a divine purpose, he is therefore the slave of desire. For never yet did such a flood of love, For goddess or for mortal, fill my soul; Not for Ixion's beauteous wife, who bore Pirithöus, sage in council as the gods; Nor the neat-footed maiden Danäe, A crisius' daughter, her who Perséus bore, Th' observ'd of all; nor noble Phœnix' child; . . . . . . nor for Semele; Nor for Alcmena fair; . . . No, nor for Ceres, golden-tressèd queen; Nor for Latona bright; nor for yourself. He is created, he is perishable, with no trace of a god in him. Nay, they are even the hired servants of men: - Admetus' halls, in which I have endured To praise the menial table, though a god. And they tend cattle:- And coming to this land, I cattle fed, For him that was my host, and kept this house. Admetus, therefore, was superior to the god. prophet and wise one, and who can foresee for others the things that shall be, you did not divine the slaughter of your beloved, but even killed him with your own hand, dear as he was:- And I believed Apollo's mouth divine Was full of truth, as well as prophet's art. (Æschylus is reproaching Apollo for being a false prophet:)- The very one who sings while at the feast, The one who said these things, alas! Is he Who slew my son. 21.

Heracles is with the Gods in Heaven,And hath white ankled Hebe there to wife.I am his phantom.Diog . His phantom! What then, can one half of anyone be a God, and the other half mortal?Her . Even so. The God still lives. 'Tis I, his counterpart, am dead.Diog . I see. You're a dummy; he palms you off upon Pluto, instead of coming himself. And here are you, enjoyinghis mortality!Her . 'Tis somewhat as thou hast said.Diog . Well, but where were Aeacus's keen eyes, that he let a counterfeit Heracles pass under his very nose, and never knew the difference?Her . I was made very like to him.Diog . I believe you! Very like indeed, no difference at all! Why, we may find it's the other way round, that you are Heracles, and the phantom is in Heaven, married to Hebe!Her . Prating knave, no more of thy gibes; else thou shalt presently learn how great a God calls me phantom.Diog . H'm. That bow looks as if it meant business. And yet,- what have I to fear now? A man can die but once. Tell me, phantom,- by your great Substance I adjure you - did you serve him in your present capacity in the upper world? Perhaps you were one individual during your lives, the separation taking place only at your deaths, when he, the God, soared heavenwards, and you, the phantom, very properly made your appearance here?Her . Thy ribald questions were best uswered. Yet thus much thou shalt know.- All that was Amphitryon in Heracles, is dead; I am that mortal part. The Zeus in him lives, and is with the Gods in Heaven.Diog . Ah, now I see! Alcmena had twins, you mean,- Heracles the son of Zeus, and Heracles the son of Amphitryon? You were really half brothers all the time?Her . Fool! not so. We twain were one Heracles.Diog . It's a little difficult to grasp, the two Heracleses packed into one. I suppose you must have been like a sort of Centaur, man and God all mixed together?Her . And are not all thus composed of two elements,- the body and the soul? What then should hinder the soul from being in Heaven, with Zeus who gave it, and the mortal part - myself - among the dead?Diog . Yes, yes, my esteemed son of Amphitryon,- that would be all very well if you were a body; but you see you are a phantom, you have no body. At this rate we shall get three Heracleses.Her . Three ?Diog . Yes; look here. One in Heaven: one in Hades, that's you, the phantom: and lastly the body, which by this time has returned to dust. That makes three. Can you think of a good father for number Three?Her . Impudent quibbler! And who art thou ?Diog . I am Diogenes's phantom, late of Sinope. But my original, I assure you, is not 'among th' immortal Gods,'but here among dead men; where he enjoys the best of company, and snaps my ringers at Homer and all hair splitting.F.

2.20.4, 2.22.1, 3.13.9 (2nd cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE)

2.20.4. τὸ δὲ μνῆμα τὸ πλησίον Χορείας μαινάδος ὀνομάζουσι, Διονύσῳ λέγοντες καὶ ἄλλας γυναῖκας καὶ ταύτην ἐς Ἄργος συστρατεύσασθαι, Περσέα δέ, ὡς ἐκράτει τῆς μάχης, φονεῦσαι τῶν γυναικῶν τὰς πολλάς· τὰς μὲν οὖν λοιπὰς θάπτουσιν ἐν κοινῷ, ταύτῃ δὲ—ἀξιώματι γὰρ δὴ προεῖχεν—ἰδίᾳ τὸ μνῆμα ἐποίησαν. 2.22.1. τῆς δὲ Ἥρας ὁ ναὸς τῆς Ἀνθείας ἐστὶ τοῦ ἱεροῦ τῆς Λητοῦς ἐν δεξιᾷ καὶ πρὸ αὐτοῦ γυναικῶν τάφος. ἀπέθανον δὲ αἱ γυναῖκες ἐν μάχῃ πρὸς Ἀργείους τε καὶ Περσέα, ἀπὸ νήσων τῶν ἐν Αἰγαίῳ Διονύσῳ συνεστρατευμέναι· καὶ διὰ τοῦτο Ἁλίας αὐτὰς ἐπονομάζουσιν. ἀντικρὺ δὲ τοῦ μνήματος τῶν γυναικῶν Δήμητρός ἐστιν ἱερὸν ἐπίκλησιν Πελασγίδος ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱδρυσαμένου Πελασγοῦ τοῦ Τριόπα, καὶ οὐ πόρρω τοῦ ἱεροῦ τάφος Πελασγοῦ. 3.13.9. ξόανον δὲ ἀρχαῖον καλοῦσιν Ἀφροδίτης Ἥρας· ἐπὶ δὲ θυγατρὶ γαμουμένῃ νενομίκασι τὰς μητέρας τῇ θεῷ θύειν. τοῦ λόφου δὲ κατὰ τὴν ἐς δεξιὰν ὁδὸν Ἑτοιμοκλέους ἐστὶν εἰκών· τῷ δὲ Ἑτοιμοκλεῖ καὶ αὐτῷ καὶ Ἱπποσθένει τῷ πατρὶ πάλης εἰσὶν Ὀλυμπικαὶ νῖκαι, καὶ συναμφοτέροις μὲν μία τε καὶ δέκα, τῷ δὲ Ἱπποσθένει μιᾷ νίκῃ τὸν υἱὸν παρελθεῖν ὑπῆρξεν. 2.20.4. The tomb near this they call that of the maenad Chorea, saying that she was one of the women who joined Dionysus in his expedition against Argos, and that Perseus, being victorious in the battle, put most of the women to the sword. To the rest they gave a common grave, but to Chorea they gave burial apart because of her high rank. 2.22.1. The temple of Hera Anthea (Flowery) is on the right of the sanctuary of Leto, and before it is a grave of women. They were killed in a battle against the Argives under Perseus, having come from the Aegean Islands to help Dionysus in war; for which reason they are surnamed Haliae (Women of the Sea). Facing the tomb of the women is a sanctuary of Demeter, surnamed Pelasgian from Pelasgus, son of Triopas, its founder, and not far from the sanctuary is the grave of Pelasgus. 3.13.9. An old wooden image they call that of Aphrodite Hera. A mother is wont to sacrifice to the goddess when a daughter is married. On the road to the right of the hill is a statue of Hetoemocles. Both Hetoemocles himself and his father Hipposthenes won Olympic victories for wrestling the two together won eleven, but Hipposthenes succeeded in beating his son by one victory.
19. Augustine, The City of God, 6.3 (4th cent. CE - 5th cent. CE)

6.3. He wrote forty-one books of antiquities. These he divided into human and divine things. Twenty-five he devoted to human things, sixteen to divine things; following this plan in that division - namely, to give six books to each of the four divisions of human things. For he directs his attention to these considerations: who perform, where they perform, when they perform, what they perform. Therefore in the first six books he wrote concerning men; in the second six, concerning places; in the third six, concerning times; in the fourth and last six, concerning things. Four times six, however, make only twenty-four. But he placed at the head of them one separate work, which spoke of all these things conjointly. In divine things, the same order he preserved throughout, as far as concerns those things which are performed to the gods. For sacred things are performed by men in places and times. These four things I have mentioned he embraced in twelve books, allotting three to each. For he wrote the first three concerning men, the following three concerning places, the third three concerning times, and the fourth three concerning sacred rites - showing who should perform, where they should perform, when they should perform, what they should perform, with most subtle distinction. But because it was necessary to say - and that especially was expected - to whom they should perform sacred rites, he wrote concerning the gods themselves the last three books; and these five times three made fifteen. But they are in all, as we have said, sixteen. For he put also at the beginning of these one distinct book, speaking by way of introduction of all which follows; which being finished, he proceeded to subdivide the first three in that five-fold distribution which pertain to men, making the first concerning high priests, the second concerning augurs, the third concerning the fifteen men presiding over the sacred ceremonies. The second three he made concerning places, speaking in one of them concerning their chapels, in the second concerning their temples, and in the third concerning religious places. The next three which follow these, and pertain to times - that is, to festival days - he distributed so as to make one concerning holidays, the other concerning the circus games, and the third concerning scenic plays. of the fourth three, pertaining to sacred things, he devoted one to consecrations, another to private, the last to public, sacred rites. In the three which remain, the gods themselves follow this pompous train, as it were, for whom all this culture has been expended. In the first book are the certain gods, in the second the uncertain, in the third, and last of all, the chief and select gods.
