While he pondered this in mind and heart, and was drawing from its sheath his great sword, Athene came from heaven. The white-armed goddess Hera had sent her forth 2.134. But allies there be out of many cities, men that wield the spear, who hinder me mightily, and for all that I am fain, suffer me not to sack the well-peopled citadel of Ilios. Already have nine years of great Zeus gone by 2.135. and lo, our ships' timbers are rotted, and the tackling loosed; and our wives, I ween, and little children sit in our halls awaiting us; yet is our task wholly unaccomplished in furtherance whereof we came hither. Nay, come, even as I shall bid, let us all obey: 2.284. in the likeness of a herald, bade the host keep silence, that the sons of the Achaeans, both the nearest and the farthest, might hear his words, and lay to heart his counsel. He with good intent addressed their gathering and spake among them:Son of Atreus, now verily are the Achaeans minded to make thee, O king 2.285. the most despised among all mortal men, nor will they fulfill the promise that they made to thee, while faring hitherward from Argos, the pasture-land of horses, that not until thou hadst sacked well-walled Ilios shouldest thou get thee home. For like little children or widow women 2.286. the most despised among all mortal men, nor will they fulfill the promise that they made to thee, while faring hitherward from Argos, the pasture-land of horses, that not until thou hadst sacked well-walled Ilios shouldest thou get thee home.

And there spake among them the horseman, Nestor of Gerenia:Now look you; in very truth are ye holding assembly after the manner of silly boys that care no whit for deeds of war. What then is to be the end of our compacts and our oaths? 2.340. Nay, into the fire let us cast all counsels and plans of warriors, the drink-offerings of unmixed wine, and the hand-clasps wherein we put our trust. For vainly do we wrangle with words, nor can we find any device at all, for all our long-tarrying here. Son of Atreus, do thou as of old keep unbending purpose 2.341. Nay, into the fire let us cast all counsels and plans of warriors, the drink-offerings of unmixed wine, and the hand-clasps wherein we put our trust.

Son of Atreus, do thou as of old keep unbending purpose 2.825. men of wealth, that drink the dark water of Aesepus, even the Troes, these again were led by the glorious son of Lycaon, Pandarus, to whom Apollo himself gave the bow.And they that held Adrasteia and the land of Apaesus, and that held Pityeia and the steep mount of Tereia 3.73. to do battle for Helen and all her possessions. And whichsoever of us twain shall win, and prove him the better man, let him duly take all the wealth and the woman, and bear them to his home. But for you others, do ye swear friendship and oaths of faith with sacrifice. So should ye dwell in deep-soiled Troyland, and let them return 3.94. and himself in the midst and Menelaus, dear to Ares, to do battle for Helen and all her possessions. And whichsoever of the twain shall win, and prove him the better man, let him duly take all the wealth and the woman, and bear them to his home; but for us others, let us swear friendship and oaths of faith with sacrifice. 3.103. because of my quarrel and Alexander's beginning thereof. And for whichsoever of us twain death and fate are appointed, let him lie dead; but be ye others parted with all speed. Bring ye two lambs, a white ram and a black ewe, for Earth and Sun, and for Zeus we will bring another; 3.104. because of my quarrel and Alexander's beginning thereof. And for whichsoever of us twain death and fate are appointed, let him lie dead; but be ye others parted with all speed. Bring ye two lambs, a white ram and a black ewe, for Earth and Sun, and for Zeus we will bring another; 3.105. and fetch ye hither the mighty Priam, that he may himself swear an oath with sacrifice, seeing that his sons are over-weening and faithless; lest any by presumptuous act should do violence to the oaths of Zeus. Ever unstable are the hearts of the young; but in whatsoever an old man taketh part, he looketh both before and after 3.106. and fetch ye hither the mighty Priam, that he may himself swear an oath with sacrifice, seeing that his sons are over-weening and faithless; lest any by presumptuous act should do violence to the oaths of Zeus.

Ever unstable are the hearts of the young; but in whatsoever an old man taketh part, he looketh both before and after 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. 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 6.25. he while shepherding his flocks lay with the nymph in love, and she conceived and bare twin sons. of these did the son of Mecisteus loose the might and the glorious limbs and strip the armour from their shoulders.And Polypoetes staunch in fight slew Astyalus 7.406. Then to Idaeus spake lord Agamemnon:Idaeus, verily of thyself thou hearest the word of the Achaeans, how they make answer to thee; and mine own pleasure is even as theirs. But as touching the dead I in no wise grudge that ye burn them; for to dead corpses should no man grudge 7.407. Then to Idaeus spake lord Agamemnon:Idaeus, verily of thyself thou hearest the word of the Achaeans, how they make answer to thee; and mine own pleasure is even as theirs. But as touching the dead I in no wise grudge that ye burn them; for to dead corpses should no man grudge 7.408. Then to Idaeus spake lord Agamemnon:Idaeus, verily of thyself thou hearest the word of the Achaeans, how they make answer to thee; and mine own pleasure is even as theirs. But as touching the dead I in no wise grudge that ye burn them; for to dead corpses should no man grudge 7.409. Then to Idaeus spake lord Agamemnon:Idaeus, verily of thyself thou hearest the word of the Achaeans, how they make answer to thee; and mine own pleasure is even as theirs. But as touching the dead I in no wise grudge that ye burn them; for to dead corpses should no man grudge 7.410. when once they are dead, the speedy consolation of fire. But to our oaths let Zeus be witness, the loud-thundering lord of Hera. So saying, he lifted up his staff before the face of all the gods, and Idaeus went his way back to sacred Ilios. Now they were sitting in assembly, Trojans and Dardanians alike 7.411. when once they are dead, the speedy consolation of fire. But to our oaths let Zeus be witness, the loud-thundering lord of Hera. So saying, he lifted up his staff before the face of all the gods, and Idaeus went his way back to sacred Ilios.

Now they were sitting in assembly, Trojans and Dardanians alike 9.132. and that in beauty surpass all women folk. These will I give him, and amid them shall be she that then I took away, the daughter of Briseus; and I will furthermore swear a great oath that never went I up into her bed neither had dalliance with her as is the appointed way of mankind, even of men and women. 9.133. and that in beauty surpass all women folk. These will I give him, and amid them shall be she that then I took away, the daughter of Briseus; and I will furthermore swear a great oath that never went I up into her bed neither had dalliance with her as is the appointed way of mankind, even of men and women. 9.134. and that in beauty surpass all women folk. These will I give him, and amid them shall be she that then I took away, the daughter of Briseus; and I will furthermore swear a great oath that never went I up into her bed neither had dalliance with her as is the appointed way of mankind, even of men and women. 9.274. And he will give seven women skilled in goodly handiwork, women of Lesbos, whom on the day when thou thyself tookest well-built Lesbos he chose him from the spoil, and that in beauty surpassed all women folk. These will he give thee, and amid them shall be she whom he then took away, the daughter of Briseus; and he will furthermore swear a great oath 10.274. but he gave it to his own son Meriones to wear; and now, being set thereon, it covered the head of Odysseus.So when the twain had clothed them in their dread armour, they went their way and left there all the chieftains. And for them Pallas Athene sent forth on their right a heron, hard by the way 10.275. and though they saw it not through the darkness of night, yet they heard its cry. And Odysseus was glad at the omen, and made prayer to Athene:Hear me, child of Zeus, that beareth the aegis, thou that dost ever stand by my side in all manner of toils, nor am I unseen of thee where'er I move; 10.276. and though they saw it not through the darkness of night, yet they heard its cry. And Odysseus was glad at the omen, and made prayer to Athene:Hear me, child of Zeus, that beareth the aegis, thou that dost ever stand by my side in all manner of toils, nor am I unseen of thee where'er I move; 10.328. For I will go straight on to the camp, even until I come to the ship of Agamemnon, where, I ween, the chieftains will be holding council, whether to flee or to fight. So spake he, and Hector took the staff in his hands, and sware to him, saying:Now be my witness Zeus himself, the loud-thundering lord of Hera 10.329. For I will go straight on to the camp, even until I come to the ship of Agamemnon, where, I ween, the chieftains will be holding council, whether to flee or to fight. So spake he, and Hector took the staff in his hands, and sware to him, saying:Now be my witness Zeus himself, the loud-thundering lord of Hera 10.330. that on those horses no other man of the Trojans shall mount, but it is thou, I declare, that shalt have glory in them continually. 10.331. that on those horses no other man of the Trojans shall mount, but it is thou, I declare, that shalt have glory in them continually. 10.332. that on those horses no other man of the Trojans shall mount, but it is thou, I declare, that shalt have glory in them continually. 12.21. Rhesus and Heptaporus and Caresus and Rhodius, and Granicus and Aesepus, and goodly Scamander, and Simois, by the banks whereof many shields of bull's-hide and many helms fell in the dust, and the race of men half-divine—of all these did Phoebus Apollo turn the mouths together 14.271. So spake she, and Sleep waxed glad, and made answer saying:Come now, swear to me by the inviolable water of Styx, and with one hand lay thou hold of the bounteous earth, and with the other of the shimmering sea, that one and all they may be witnesses betwixt us twain, even the gods that are below with Cronos 14.272. So spake she, and Sleep waxed glad, and made answer saying:Come now, swear to me by the inviolable water of Styx, and with one hand lay thou hold of the bounteous earth, and with the other of the shimmering sea, that one and all they may be witnesses betwixt us twain, even the gods that are below with Cronos 14.273. So spake she, and Sleep waxed glad, and made answer saying:Come now, swear to me by the inviolable water of Styx, and with one hand lay thou hold of the bounteous earth, and with the other of the shimmering sea, that one and all they may be witnesses betwixt us twain, even the gods that are below with Cronos 14.274. So spake she, and Sleep waxed glad, and made answer saying:Come now, swear to me by the inviolable water of Styx, and with one hand lay thou hold of the bounteous earth, and with the other of the shimmering sea, that one and all they may be witnesses betwixt us twain, even the gods that are below with Cronos 14.275. that verily thou wilt give me one of the youthful Graces, even Pasithea, that myself I long for all my days. So spake he, and the goddess, white-armed Hera, failed not to hearken, but sware as he bade, and invoked by name all the gods below Tartarus, that are called Titans. 14.276. that verily thou wilt give me one of the youthful Graces, even Pasithea, that myself I long for all my days. So spake he, and the goddess, white-armed Hera, failed not to hearken, but sware as he bade, and invoked by name all the gods below Tartarus, that are called Titans. 14.277. that verily thou wilt give me one of the youthful Graces, even Pasithea, that myself I long for all my days. So spake he, and the goddess, white-armed Hera, failed not to hearken, but sware as he bade, and invoked by name all the gods below Tartarus, that are called Titans. 14.278. that verily thou wilt give me one of the youthful Graces, even Pasithea, that myself I long for all my days. So spake he, and the goddess, white-armed Hera, failed not to hearken, but sware as he bade, and invoked by name all the gods below Tartarus, that are called Titans. 14.279. that verily thou wilt give me one of the youthful Graces, even Pasithea, that myself I long for all my days. So spake he, and the goddess, white-armed Hera, failed not to hearken, but sware as he bade, and invoked by name all the gods below Tartarus, that are called Titans. 14.280. But when she had sworn and made an end of the oath, the twain left the cities of Lemnos and Imbros, and clothed about in mist went forth, speeding swiftly on their way. To many-fountained Ida they came, the mother of wild creatures, even to Lectum, where first they left the sea; and the twain fared on over the dry land 15.36. and she spake and addressed him with winged words:Hereto now be Earth my witness and the broad Heaven above, and the down-flowing water of Styx, which is the greatest and most dread oath for the blessed gods, and thine own sacred head, and the couch of us twain, couch of our wedded love 15.37. and she spake and addressed him with winged words:Hereto now be Earth my witness and the broad Heaven above, and the down-flowing water of Styx, which is the greatest and most dread oath for the blessed gods, and thine own sacred head, and the couch of us twain, couch of our wedded love 15.38. and she spake and addressed him with winged words:Hereto now be Earth my witness and the broad Heaven above, and the down-flowing water of Styx, which is the greatest and most dread oath for the blessed gods, and thine own sacred head, and the couch of us twain, couch of our wedded love 15.39. and she spake and addressed him with winged words:Hereto now be Earth my witness and the broad Heaven above, and the down-flowing water of Styx, which is the greatest and most dread oath for the blessed gods, and thine own sacred head, and the couch of us twain, couch of our wedded love 15.40. whereby I verily would never forswear myself —not by my will doth Poseidon, the Shaker of Earth, work harm to the Trojans and Hector, and give succour to their foes. Nay, I ween, it is his own soul that urgeth and biddeth him on, and he hath seen the Achaeans sore-bested by their ships and taken pity upon them. 19.108. even one of the race of those men who are of me by blood.’ But with crafty mind the queenly Hera spake unto him:‘Thou wilt play the cheat, and not bring thy word to fulfillment. Nay, come, Olympian, swear me now a mighty oath that in very truth that man shall be lord of all them that dwell round about 19.113. whoso this day shall fall between a woman's feet, even one of those men who are of the blood of thy stock.’ So spake she; howbeit Zeus in no wise marked her craftiness, but sware a great oath, and therewithal was blinded sore. 19.175. and swear to thee an oath, that never hath he gone up into the woman's bed neither had dalliance with her, as is the appointed way, O king, of men and of women; and let the heart in thine own breast be open to appeasement. Thereafter let him make amends to thee in his hut with a feast full rich 19.176. and swear to thee an oath, that never hath he gone up into the woman's bed neither had dalliance with her, as is the appointed way, O king, of men and of women; and let the heart in thine own breast be open to appeasement. Thereafter let him make amends to thee in his hut with a feast full rich 19.177. and swear to thee an oath, that never hath he gone up into the woman's bed neither had dalliance with her, as is the appointed way, O king, of men and of women; and let the heart in thine own breast be open to appeasement.

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: 1.85. 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 1.100. 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. 2.170. For I don't prophesy unproven, but I know it well. For I say to him that each and every thing has been fulfilled, as I told him when the Argives went up into Iliumand resourceful Odysseus went with them. I said that after he suffered many evils and lost all his comrade 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 4.255. before he reached his huts and swift ships, right then he told me in detail the Achaeans' intent. He then killed many of the Trojans with sharp bronze, went back among the Argives, and brought back much information. Then the rest of the Trojan women shrieked loudly, but my heart 5.1. BOOK 5 Dawn, from bed beside illustrious Tithonus, arose to bring light to mortals and immortals. The gods sat down in council, among them Zeus whose power is the greatest. 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 5.150. after she heard Zeus' message. She found him sitting on the shore, but his eyes were never dry of tears and his sweet lifetime was passing from him as he mourned for his return, since the nymph no longer pleased him. But, yes, he spent the nights, by necessity 5.155. in her hollow caves, the unwilling beside the willing, then by day he sat on the rocks and spits, rending his heart with tears and groans and sorrows, shedding tears as he looked out upon the barren sea. The goddess divine stood close by and said to him: 5.160. “Ill-fated one, mourn here no longer, and don't have your lifetime waste away, for I'll quite sincerely send you off now. But come, cut long timbers with bronze and join them into a wide raft. Then fasten a deck on it, up high, so it can carry you upon the misty sea. 5.165. Then I'll put food, and water, and red wine in it, in abundance, to keep hunger from you, and dress you in raiment, then send a fair wind behind you, so, quite unscathed, you can reach your fatherland, if the gods who hold wide heaven are willing 5.170. who are mightier than I in both intention and fulfillment.” So said she, and long-suffering divine Odysseus shuddered, and voicing winged words, he said to her: “Goddess, you intend this as something else, but not at all a convoy, you who bid me cross upon a raft the great gulf of the sea 5.175. dread and grievous, over which swift-sailing balanced ships don't pass, even glorying in a fair wind from Zeus. But I won't set foot on a raft despite you, unless, goddess, you dare to swear a great oath to me, that you won't plan another evil misery for me.” 5.180. So said he, and the goddess divine, Calypso, smiled, caressed him with her hand, called out his name, and said: “Yes, you're a wicked one, and not unsagacious, to have the wit to speak such talk as this. Let the earth now see this, and wide heaven above 5.185. and the flowing water of Styx, who is the greatest and most dread witness to an oath among the blessed gods, that I don't plan another evil misery for you. Instead, I'm thinking of and will advise the things I'd have in mind even for myself, should such a need come upon me. 5.190. For my mind is righteous, and I myself don't have a heart of iron in my chest, but one of compassion.” So saying, the goddess divine led quickly, and he followed in the footsteps of the goddess. They reached the hollow cave, the goddess and the man 5.195. and he then sat upon the chair from which Hermeshad arisen, and the nymph laid all kind of food beside hi, to eat and drink, such kinds as mortal men eat. She sat opposite divine Odysseusand her slave women set ambrosia and nectar beside her. 5.200. They threw their hands on the good things laid ready before them. Then after they'd had their fill of food and drink, the goddess divine, Calypso, was the first of them to speak: “Zeus-born Laertiades, resourceful Odysseus, Do you wish to go homeward this way, right now 5.205. to your beloved fatherland? Then, fare you well, nonetheless. If you only knew in your mind how many sorrows make up your destiny before you reach your fatherland, you'd stay right here with me, guard this home, and be immortal, despite your eagerness to see 5.210. your wife, whom you long for every day. Surely, I claim I'm no worse than she in either form or stature, since it's no way fitting that mortals vie with immortals in form and appearance.” Adroit Odysseus said to her in reply: 5.215. “Lady goddess, don't be angry with me for this. I know this all myself very well, because prudent Penelope is weaker than you in appearance and size, when one sees her face to face, for she is mortal, but you're immortal and unaging. But even so, I want and wish for, every day 5.220. to go home and see homecoming day. If some god again wrecks me on the wine-dark sea, I'll endure it, with a heart in my chest that endures sorrows, for I've already suffered very many and toiled much in waves and war. Let this also be among them.” 5.225. So said he, and the sun went down, and dusk came on. The two, going to an inner recess of the hollow cave, stayed by each other's side and delighted in love. When early-born rose-fingered Dawn appeared, Odysseus at once put on his cloak and tunic 5.230. and the nymph herself put on a great white cloak, delicate and lovely, threw a fine golden girdle around her waist and a veil above her head. Right then she planned the departure of great-hearted Odysseus. She gave him a big axe that fit in his palms 5.235. a bronze one, sharpened on both sides, and a handle of gorgeous olivewood was strongly fastened in it. Then she gave him a well-made adze. She led the way to the border of the island, where the tall trees grew, alder and poplar, and where fir was reaching to the sky 5.240. dry long ago, very dry, that would float lightly for him. Then after she showed him where the tall trees grew, the goddess divine, Calypso, went to her home, but he started cutting timbers, and took care of his work quickly. He struck down twenty in all, then trimmed them with the bronze 5.245. planed them expertly and made them straight to the line. Meanwhile the goddess divine, Calypso, brought augers, and he bored all of them and fit them to each other, then with pegs and cords pounded it together. As wide as some man well skilled in carpentry 5.250. would mark off the bottom of a wide freighter, just as wide Odysseus made his raft. Setting up the deck, fitting it to the closely-set ribs, he worked, then finished it with long side planks. He made a mast and yardarm that fit in it 5.255. then made a steering oar besides so he could steer. He fenced it in throughout with wickerwork of willow to be a defense against the waves, then piled up much wood for himself. Meanwhile the goddess divine, Calypso, brought cloth to make a sail. He fashioned that well too. 5.260. On it he secured the braces, halyards, and sheets, then he hauled the raft with levers down into the divine sea. It was the fourth day, and everything he had to do was done. Then on the fifth, divine Calypso sent him from the island after she'd bathed him and dressed him in fragrant raiment. 5.335. but in the sea's depths now has her share of honor from the gods. She felt pity for Odysseus, as he wandered and had sorrows, and disguised as a gull she went up in flight from the sea, sat on the raft, and said to him: “Ill-fated one, why does Earth-shaker Poseidon hate you 5.340. o terribly, that he plants evils aplenty for you? He won't destroy you, though he's very eager to. You don't seem to me to be without sense, so act in just this way. Strip off these clothes, abandon the raft to be borne by winds, then swim with your hands and strive for a return 5.345. to the Phaeacians' land, where it's your lot to escape. Take this veil and stretch it under your chest. It's immortal. Don't have any fear that you'll suffer or perish. Then after you've laid hold of land with your hands, loosen it from you and cast it back into the wine-dark sea 5.350. far from the land, and turn yourself away.” So saying, the goddess gave him the veil, then herself dove back into the billowing sea, disguised as a gull, and dark wave covered her. Then long-suffering divine Odysseus pondered 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 7.260. with tears the immortal clothes Calypso gave me. But when at last the eighth year, in its turning, came to me, right then at last she ordered and urged me go, by order of Zeus or because her mind had changed. She sent me off on a tightly corded raft and gave me many things 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!” 8.195. “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 8.200. glad to find a kind comrade in the crowd, and then, feeling lighter, he said to the Phaeacians: “Reach that one now, young men, and I think I'll throw another one soon after, just as far or even farther! Any of you others, whose heart and soul commands 9.40. at Ismarus. There I sacked the city and destroyed them. We took their wives and many possessions from the city, and divided up so none would go cheated of a fair share by me. Then indeed I ordered that with nimble feet we flee, but, greatly foolish, they did not obey. 9.45. Then much wine was drunk, and by the shore they slaughtered many sheep and lumbering curved-horn cattle. Meanwhile, the Ciconians had gone and cried out to Ciconianswho were were more numerous and stronger, their neighbors living inland, skilled in fighting men 9.50. from horses, and where needed, on foot. They came then, in the morning, as many as leaves and flowers come in season. Then Zeus's evil destiny was with us, grimly doomed, so that we would suffer many sorrows. Setting up for battle, they fought beside the swift ships 9.55. and threw bronze spears at each other. While it was morning and sacred day was growing, we stayed and fought them off though there were more of them. But when the sun had passed beyond the time to unyoke oxen, right then Ciconians turned and tamed Achaeans 9.60. and six well-greaved comrades from each ship were killed, but the rest of us escaped death and doom. “We sailed on from there with grief in our hearts at the loss of our dear comrades, glad to have escaped death. But my double-curved ships sailed no further 9.85. We went ashore there and drew water, and my comrades soon took dinner beside our swift ships. Then after they partook of food and drink, I then sent comrades to go and find out who the men were who ate bread upon the earth. 9.90. I chose two men, and sent a third with them as a herald, who went and soon mingled with the Lotus Eater men, and the Lotus Eaters did not intend destruction for our comrades, but gave them lotus to partake of. Whoever of them ate the honey-sweet fruit of the lotu 9.95. no longer wished to report or come back, but wanted to stay there among the Lotus Eater men to feed on lotus and forget return home. I brought them by force, weeping, to the ships, then, dragged them in the hollow ships and tied them under the benches. 9.100. Then I ordered the rest of my trusty comrades to board the fast ships in a hurry, lest by chance anyone eat lotus and forget return home, then they went aboard at once and sat down at the oarlocks, and, seated in rows, beat the gray sea with their oars. 10.1. BOOK 10 “We reached the island of Aeolia. There lived Aeolus Hippotades, dear to gods immortal, on a floating island, a wall of unbreakable bronze all around it, and the smooth rock ran sheer up. 10.5. His twelve children were also in the palace, six daughters and six sons in their prime. He gave his daughters to his sons to be their wives. They always dine beside their dear father and devoted mother. Countless good things lie beside them, and the house 10.10. teaming with sacrifice, echoes around the courtyard by day, and at night they sleep again beside their venerable wives in blankets and in corded beds. And when we reached their fine home and city, he welcomed me a whole month and asked about each thing 10.15. Ilium, the Argive ships, and the return home of the Achaeans, and I duly recounted everything to him. But when I also asked the way and bid him dispatch me, that one refused nothing, and made me a convoy. He gave me a leather bag, of a nine year-old ox he'd skinned 10.20. and bound the ways of the blustering winds in it, for Cronion had made him master of the winds, both to start and stop the ones he wishes. He tied it tight in our hollow ship with a shiny silver cord, so nothing would blow out even a little 10.25. then he sent forth West Wind's breath to blow for me, to carry the ships as well as ourselves. But he wasn't going to succeed, for by our own folly we perished. “Nine days we sailed, day and night alike, and on the tenth our fatherland appeared 10.30. and we caught sight of them tending fires, near as they were. Then sweet sleep came upon me in my weariness, for I always controlled the ship's sheet and didn't give it to another comrade, so we'd reach our fatherland faster. My comrades talked to one another 10.35. and said I was bringing home gold and silver, gifts from great-hearted Aeolus Hippotades. In this way, glancing at another near him, one would say: 'Humph! How dear and honored this one is to all mankind, whoever's land and city he arrives at. 10.40. While from Troy he brings many beautiful treasures from the spoils, we, who made the same journey, return home holding empty hands together. Just now Aeolus favored him with friendship and gave him this. But come, let's quickly see what these things are 10.45. how much of any gold and silver's in the leather bag.' So said they, and my comrades' evil plan prevailed. They loosened the leather bag and all the winds rushed out, and storm at once snatched them and carried them, crying, out to sea, away from fatherland. Then I 10.50. awoke and pondered in my noble heart whether to throw myself from the ship and perish in the sea or submit in silence and stay still among the living. But I submitted and stayed, covered myself, and lay in the ship. The ships were borne by the evil windstorm 10.55. to the island of Aeolia, as my comrades groaned. “We went ashore there and drew water, and my comrades soon took dinner beside our swift ships. Then after they partook of food and drink, I then took a herald and comrade with me 10.60. and went to Aeolus' famous home. I came upon him dining beside his wife and his children. We came into the house and sat on the threshold by the doorposts. They were amazed at heart and asked: 'Why have you come, Odysseus? What cruel divinity assailed you? 10.65. We sent you off kindly, so you could reach your home and fatherland, or anywhere that's dear to you.' “So said they. Then with a grieving heart I answered: 'Evil comrades, and reckless sleep to boot, have harmed me, so, heal me, friends, for the power is in you!' 10.70. “So said I, addressing them with words meant to win them, but they were silent. Then their father answered: 'Get off this island quickly, most contemptible of the living, for I don't have the right, to see on his way or aid, that man who's hated by the blessed gods. 10.75. Go, since you've come here most hated by immortals!' “So saying, he sent me, groaning heavily, from his house. We sailed on from there with grief in our hearts, and my men's spirit was afflicted by painful rowing for our foolishness, since a convoy no longer appeared. 10.80. “Six days we sailed, day and night alike, and on the seventh we reached the sheer citadel of Lamus, Laestrygonian Telepylus, where herdsman greets herdsman: the one driving in hails and the one driving out answers. A sleepless man there could earn two wages 10.85. one tending cattle, the other pasturing white sheep, for the paths of day and night are close together. Then when we entered the famous harbor, around which steep rock extends continuously on both sides, and, at its mouth, jutting headlands protrude 10.90. opposite each other, and the entrance is narrow, all of them kept their double-curved ships inside. They were moored close together inside the hollow harbor, for waves never grew in it, neither great nor small, but there was a white calm about it. 10.95. But I alone kept my black ship outside, at its edge, tied the cables to the rock, climbed to a rugged lookout, and stood. Works of neither men nor oxen appeared there, and we saw only smoke spurting from the ground. 10.100. I then sent comrades to go and find out who the men were who ate bread upon the earth. I chose two men, and sent a third with them as a herald, They went ashore and went along a smooth road, where wagons brought wood down from the lofty mountains to the city. 10.105. In front of the city they met a girl fetching water, Antiphates the Laestrygonian's mighty daughter, who'd gone down to the fair-flowing spring Artacia from where they carried water to the city. They stood beside and spoke to her, and asked 10.110. who their king was and over whom he ruled. She very quickly pointed out her father's high-roofed house. But when they entered the famous house, they found a woman, as big as a mountain peak, and they shrank from the sight of her. She immediately called from assembly famous Antiphates 10.115. her husband, who devised wretched destruction for them. At once he seized one of my comrades and prepared him for dinner. The other two jumped up and came in flight to the ships. Then he made a cry throughout the city, and the mighty Laestrygonians heard, and stalked from one place and other 10.120. countless ones, not like men, but like Giants. They threw from the rocks with boulders big as a man can carry, and at once an evil din arose throughout the ships, of ships being smashed and men being killed. Piercing them like fish, they carried off their gruesome meal. 10.125. While they were destroying them in the very deep harbor I drew my sharp sword from beside my thigh and with it cut away my cyan-prowed ship's cable. At once I urged and bid my comrades lay on the oar handles, so we'd get out of danger 10.130. and they all tossed up the sea in fear of destruction. My ship gladly fled the overhanging rocks to the sea, but the others were all destroyed together where they were. We sailed on from there with grief in our hearts at the loss of dear comrades, glad to have escaped death. 10.135. We reached the island of Aeaea, and there lived the dread goddess with human speech, fair-haired Circe, sister of malign Aeetes. Both were born of Helios, who brings light to mortals, and of their mother Perses, whom Oceanus bore as his daughter. 10.140. There, we headed with our ship down to the beach in silence, into a ship-sheltering harbor, and some god led the way. We got out then and lay there for two days and two nights, eating our hearts in pain and exhaustion. But when fair-haired Dawn brought the third day on 10.145. right then I grabbed my spear and a sharp sword and climbed quickly from the ship to a vantage point, in the hope I'd somehow see the works and hear the sound of mortals. I climbed to a rugged lookout, and stood, and smoke from the wide-wayed ground was visible to me 10.150. in Circe's palace, through dense thickets and a forest. Then I considered in my mind and heart whether to go and find out, since I'd seen the sparkling smoke. This way seemed better to me as I pondered, to go first to my swift ship and the sea's shore 10.155. give my comrades dinner, and send them to find out. But when, on my way, I was near my double-curved ship, right then some god, alone as I was, took pity on me, and sent a high-horned hart, a big one, right into my path. He'd come down to the river from his pasture in the forest 10.160. to drink, for the sun's strength already held him. I struck him, down on the spine, in the middle of the back, and the bronze spear pierced right through. He fell down squealing in the dust, and his spirit flew away. Stepping on him, I pulled the bronze spear from the wound 10.165. leaned it down, and left it on the ground. Then I plucked twigs and willow branches, braided a rope a fathom's length long, well-plaited over and across, tied the feet of the dread monster together, and, carrying him on my neck, went to my black ship 10.170. leaning on my spear, since there was no way to carry him on my shoulder with either hand, for he was a very big beast. I threw him down in front of the ship, and, going to each man, roused my comrades with words meant to win them: 'Friends, despite our grief, we won't go down 10.175. to the house of Hades before the destined day comes on us. But come, as long as there's food and drink in our swift ship, let's remember food and not let ourselves be consumed by hunger!' “So said I, and they quickly obeyed my words. Uncovering themselves beside the barren sea's shore 10.180. they beheld the hart with wonder, for he was a very big beast. Then after they'd looked and satisfied their eyes, they washed their hands and made a sumptuous feast. So then all day until the sun went down, we sat feasting on boundless meat and sweet wine. 10.185. When the sun went down and dusk came on, we laid down then to sleep at the edge of sea's surf. When early-born rose-fingered Dawn appeared, right then I held an assembly and said among them all: 'Comrades, though you're suffering evil, listen to my words! 10.190. Friends, since we don't know which way darkness is, which way dawn, which way sun that shines on mortals goes beneath the earth, or which way it comes back up, then let's consider quickly it there's still some course of action, though I don't think there is. For I climbed to a rugged lookout and saw the island 10.195. around which the boundless sea is encircled. The island itself lies low, and in its center I saw smoke with my eyes, through dense thickets and a forest.' “So said I, and their dear heart was broken as they recalled the deeds of the Laestrygonian Antiphate 10.200. and the violence of the man-eater, the great-hearted Cyclops. They cried shrilly, letting thick tears fall, but no good result came of their weeping. “Then I counted into two all my well-greaved comrades and assigned to both of them a leader. 10.205. I led one of them; godlike Eurylochus, the other. We quickly shook lots in a bronze helmet and out popped the lot of great-hearted Eurylochus. He made his way with twenty-two crying companions, and they left us, weeping, behind. 10.210. In a glen they found the house of Circe, built of polished stones, in an open place, and about it were mountain wolves and lions, whom she'd enchanted, since she gave them evil drugs. But they didn't attack the men. They stood up on them 10.215. instead, and fawned over them wagging their long tails. As when dogs fawn about their master coming from a feast, for he always carries tidbits to please their appetite, so the strong-clawed wolves and lions fawned about them, but they were afraid when they saw the dread monsters. 10.220. They stood in the doorway of the fair-haired goddess and heard Circe singing in a beautiful voice as she plied a great immortal web, such as the works of goddesses are: delicate, lovely, and splendid. The first of them to speak was leader of men Polites 10.225. who was the dearest and most devoted of my comrades: 'Friends, someone inside, either woman or goddess, is plying a great web and singing beautifully, and the whole floor is echoing, so let's quickly cry out to her.' “So said he, and they cried out and called. 10.230. She soon came out, opened the shiny doors, and called them in, and they all, in ignorance, followed, but Eurylochus stayed behind, suspecting it was a trick. She led them in and sat them down on chairs and couches and in their presence stirred cheese, barley groats 10.235. and pale green honey in Pramnean wine, then mixed baneful drugs into the food, so they'd completely forget their fatherland. Then after she gave it and they drank, right then she struck them with her wand and confined them in pigsties. They had the head, voice, hair, and shape 10.240. of pigs, but their minds were intact, as they were before. So they'd been confined, crying. Now Circe threw to them oak and ilex acorns and cornel fruit to eat, such as pigs that sleep on the ground always eat. “Eurylochus at once came to my swift black ship 10.245. and told the news of my comrades and their bitter fate. But he couldn't speak a word at all, much though he wanted to, stricken at heart with great sorrow. The eyes in him were filled with tears, and his heart was set on weeping. But when we all questioned him in amazement 10.250. right then he told of the destruction of the rest of his comrades: 'We went, as you bid, through the thickets, brilliant Odysseus. In a glen we found a beautiful house, built of polished stones, in an open place, and someone there, either woman or goddess, was plying a great web 10.255. and singing clearly, and cried out and called her. She soon came out, opened the shiny doors, and called them in, and they all, in ignorance, followed, but I stayed behind, suspecting it was a trick. Then they all together disappeared, and none of them 10.260. reappeared, though I sat and watched a long time.' “So said he. Then I slung a silver-studded sword over my shoulder, a big bronze one, and a bow about me, then ordered him to guide me back the same way. But he clasped my knees with both his hands and begged 10.265. and, in lamentation, spoke winged words to me: 'Don't take me there against my will, Zeus-nurtured one, but leave me where I am, for I know you'll neither come yourself nor bring any other of your comrades. Let's flee quickly with those here, for we may still avoid the evil day!' 10.270. “So said he. Then I in answer said to him: 'Eurylochus, surely, stay where you are in this place, eating and drinking beside my hollow black ship, but I'm going, and have a mighty need to. “So saying, I went up from the ship and sea. 10.275. But when, going up through the sacred glens, I was about to reach the great house of Circe of the many drugs, then Hermes of the golden wand met me as I was going toward the house, in the guise of a young man with his first beard, whose youthful manhood is most graceful. 10.280. He put his hand in mine, spoke my name, and said: 'Why now, wretched one, do you go alone through the hilltops, ignorant of the place as you are? Your comrades are confined there in Circe's home, like pigs with crowded hiding places. Are you coming here to free them? But I don't think that you'll 10.285. return yourself, no, you'll stay there like the others. But come, I'll rescue you from evils and save you. Here, take this good drug and enter Circe's house. It might keep the evil day away from your head. Now I'll tell you all the malign designs of Circe. 10.290. She'll make you a potion and throw drugs in your food, but won't be able so to enchant you, for the good drug I gave you won't permit it. Now I'll tell every thing. When Circe strikes you with her very long wand, draw your sharp sword then from beside your thigh 10.295. and rush at Circe as if eager to kill her. She'll cower in fear and urge you sleep with her, and don't then afterwards reject the bed of the goddess, so she'll free your comrades and take care of you. But make her swear a great oath on the blessed ones 10.300. that she won't plan another evil misery for you, lest she make you, stripped naked, unmanly and a coward.' “So saying, Argeiphontes gave me the drug, pulling it from the ground, and showed me its nature. It was black at the root, and its flower was like milk. 10.305. Gods call it moly, and it's hard for mortal men to dig it up, but gods are able to do everything. “Then Hermes departed to tall Olympusthrough the wooded island, and I went to the house of Circe, and my heart was much troubled on my way. 10.310. I stood in the door of the fair-haired goddess. I stood there and shouted, and the goddess heard my voice. She soon came out, opened the shiny doors, and called me in, then I followed with grief in my heart. She brought me in and sat me on a silver-studded chair 10.315. beautiful, intricately worked. A foot-rest for my feet was under it. She made me a potion in a golden goblet, so I would drink, and threw a drug in, with evil intent in her heart. Then after she gave and I drank but it didn't enchant me, she struck me with her wand, called out my name, and said: 10.320. 'Go now to the pigsty, lie with the rest of your comrades!' “So said she, but I drew my sharp sword from beside my thigh and rushed at Circe as if eager to kill her. With a great cry she ran under, clasped my knees, and, wailing, spoke winged words to me: 10.325. 'What man and from where are you? Where are your city and parents? Wonder holds me that you drank this drug but weren't at all enchanted, for no other man ever withstood this drug the first time he drank it and it passed his wall of teeth. In your chest you have some kind of mind that can't be charmed. 10.330. Surely you're Odysseus, the wily one that Argeiphontes of the golden wand ever told me would come with a swift black ship on his way back from Troy. But come, put your sword in its sheath, and then let the two of us get in our bed, so, mixing 10.335. in making love and love, we'll get to trust each other.' “So said she. Then I in answer said to her: 'Circe, how can you bid me be gentle with you, who made my comrades pigs in your palace, and with a wily mind, since you have me here, bid me 10.340. go into your bedroom and get in your bed, so you can make me, stripped naked, unmanly and a coward? And I won't be willing to get into your bed unless, goddess, you dare to swear a great oath to me, that you won't plan another evil misery for me.' 10.345. “So said I, and she at once swore as I'd bid her. Then after she'd sworn and completed the oath, right then I got into Circe's gorgeous bed. “Meanwhile, handmaids worked in the palace, four of them, who were the maidservants in her house. 10.350. They were born of springs, and of groves, and of sacred rivers that flow toward the sea. One of them threw fine purple blankets on the chairs, on top, then threw cloths under them below. The second one pulled silver tables in front of the chair 10.355. and placed golden baskets on them. The third mixed sweet honey-hearted wine in a silver bowl and set out golden goblets. The fourth brought water and lit a big fire under a great tripod, and the water heated. 10.360. The after the water boiled in the dazzling bronze, she sat me in a tub and bathed me from the great tripod, over my head and shoulders, once she'd mingled it to suit me, until she took the heart-wasting weariness from my limbs. Then after she bathed me and anointed me richly with olive oil 10.365. he threw a fine cloak and tunic about me, brought me in and sat me on a silver-studded chair, beautiful, intricately worked. A foot-rest for my feet was under it. A handmaid brought water for washing in a fine golden pitcher and poured it above a silver basin 10.370. o we could wash, then pulled a polished table beside us. A venerable housekeeper brought bread and set it before us placing many foods on it, pleasing us from her stores, and bid us eat, but I was not pleased at heart, and I sat there, my mind on something else, my heart foreboding evil. 10.375. “Now Circe noticed, how I sat but did not throw my hands upon the food and how a mighty sorrow held me, then stood close by and spoke winged words to me: 'Why do you sit this way, Odysseus, like a mute, eating your heart but touching neither food nor drink? 10.380. Perhaps you suspect another trick? You needn't fear at all, for I've sworn a mighty oath to you.' “So said she. Then I in answer said to her: 'Circe, what man who is right-minded would dare partake of food and drink 10.385. before he freed his comrades and saw them in his eyes? but, if you bid me eat and drink in earnest, free them, so I can see my trusty comrades with my eyes.' “So said I, and Circe walked directly through her hall, holding her wand in her hand, opened the doors of the pigsty 10.390. and drove them out, looking like hogs nine years old. Then they stood opposite, and she went through them and smeared on each another drug. From their limbs bristles flowed, the ones the ruinous drug that lady Circe'd given them made grow before 10.395. and they soon became men. They were younger than before, and handsomer by far, and bigger to look at. They knew me, and each clasped my hands. A longing to weep came on us all, and about us the house echoed horribly. The goddess herself felt pity for us. 10.400. The goddess divine stood near and said to me: 'Zeus-born Laertiades, resourceful Odysseus, go now to your swift ship and sea's shore. First of all, haul your ship onto land, then stow all your goods and gear in caves 10.405. then come back yourself and bring your trusty comrades.' “So said she. Then my manly heart obeyed, and I made my way to my swift ship and sea's shore. Then on my swift ship I found my trusty comrades, grieving pitiably, shedding thick tears. 10.410. As when calves in the barnyard all frisk opposite the cows of the herd, coming to the dunghill once they've had their fill of fodder, and the pens no longer hold them, but mooing constantly they run about their mothers, so they, when they saw me with their eyes 10.415. poured over me in tears. Then it seemed they felt as if they'd reached their fatherland and the city itself of rugged Ithaca, where they were born and bred, and as they wept they spoke winged words to me: 'We rejoice as much at your returning, Zeus-nurtured one 10.420. as if we'd reached our fatherland, Ithaca. But come, recount the destruction of the rest of our comrades!' “So said they. Then I spoke to them with words meant to win them: 'First of all, we'll haul our ship onto land, then we'll stow all our goods and gear in caves 10.425. then all of you spur yourselves to follow me so you can see your comrades in Circe's sacred home, eating and drinking, for they have an abundance.' “So said I, and they quickly obeyed my words. Only Eurylochus held back all my comrades 10.430. and, voicing winged words, he said to them: 'Ah, wretched ones, where are we going? Why are you eager for these evils, going down to the hall of Circe, who'll make each and every one of us either pigs or wolves or lions, to guard her big house under compulsion 10.435. even as the Cyclops penned them, when our comrades went to his courtyard, and bold Odysseus followed with them, for by by this man's recklessness they perished!' “So said he, then I pondered in my mind drawing my sharp-edged sword from beside my thick thigh 10.440. and cutting off his head with it to bring him to the ground though he was very close kin to me by marriage, but my comrades, from one place or another, restrained me with words meant to win me: 'Zeus-born, if you order it, we'll let this one stay where he is beside the ship and guard it. 10.445. Then, guide us to Circe's sacred home.' “So saying, they went up from the ship and sea. And Eurylochus was not left beside the hollow ship, but followed, for he feared my vehement rebuke. “Meanwhile, with kind care, Circe bathed and richly anointed 10.450. with olive oil my other comrades in her house, then threw about them fleecy cloaks and tunics. We found them all dining well in her palace. When they saw and recognized each other face to face, they wept in lamentation, and the house echoed all around. 10.455. The goddess divine stood near and said to me: 'Zeus-nurtured Laertiades, resourceful Odysseus, raise loud lamentation no longer. I know myself how many sorrows you've suffered on the fishy sea and how much hostile men have harmed you on dry land 10.460. but come, eat food and drink wine, so that in your chest you'll get again the heart you had when you first left your native land of rugged Ithaca. Now, you're withered and heartless, with hard wandering always on your mind, and your heart 10.465. is never in happiness, since you've surely suffered very much.' “So said she, and our manly spirit yielded in turn. There every day, until a year came to its end, we sat feasting on boundless meat and sweet wine. But when a year was over, and seasons turned around 10.470. as the months passed, and long days brought about, right then my trusty comrades summoned me and said: 'Possessed one, remember now your fatherland, if it's ordained that you be saved and reach your well-built house and your fatherland.' 10.475. “So said they. Then my manly heart obeyed, So then all day until the sun went down, we sat feasting on boundless meat and sweet wine. When the sun went down and dusk came on, they lay down to sleep throughout the shadowy hall. 10.480. “Then I climbed on Circe's gorgeous bed and entreated her by the knees. The goddess heard my voice, and, voicing winged words, I said to her: 'Circe, fulfill for me the promise that you promised, to send me home. My heart is eager now 10.485. and my comrades' hearts as well, who make my dear heart pine, lamenting around me, when you're somewhere away.' “So said I, and the goddess divine immediately answered: 'Zeus-nurtured Laertiades, resourceful Odysseus, stay no longer in my house against your will. 10.490. But, first you need to complete a different journey, and go to the house of Hades and dread Persephone, to consult the soul of Teiresias the Theban, the blind seer whose mind is intact. To him, even after dying, Persephone gave mind 10.495. that he alone has wits, while others flit about as shadows.' “So said she. Then my dear heart was broken, and I sat weeping on the bed, and, truly, my heart no longer wished to live and see sun's light. Then after I'd had enough of weeping and writhing 10.500. right then I said to her in answer: 'Circe, who'll guide us on this journey? No one's ever reached the house of Hades in a black ship!' “So said I, and the goddess divine immediately answered: 'Zeus-nurtured Laertiades, resourceful Odysseus 10.505. don't let the absence of a guide bother you beside your ship, but set up the mast, spread the white sails, and sit. North Wind's breath will bear her for you. But when you drive through Ocean with your ship, there will be a rough headland and groves of Persephone 10.510. tall poplars and willows losing their fruit. Land your ship at that spot, by deep-eddying Ocean, but go yourself to the dank house of Hades. There Pyriphlegethus and Cocytus, which is a branch of the water of the Styx, flow into Acheron 10.515. and there is a rock and the junction of two roaring rivers. Then draw near there, hero, as I bid you, and dig a pit a cubit's length this way and that, and pour a libation to all the dead about it, first with milk and honey, thereafter with sweet wine 10.520. a third time with water, then sprinkle white barley groats upon it. Entreat repeatedly the helpless heads of the dead, that when you get to Ithaca you'll offer a cow that's not yet calved, your best one, in your palace, and will fill the pyre with good things, and that you'll sacrifice separately, to Teiresias alone 10.525. a solid-black ram, that stands out among your sheep. Then after you've entreated the famous tribes of corpses with your prayers, offer sheep there, a ram and a black female, turning them toward Erebus, but turn yourself away and face the river's streams. There, many soul 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 10.540. and of your return home, how you'll go upon the fishy sea.' “So said she, and golden-throned Dawn immediately came. She dressed a cloak and tunic about me as clothing, and the nymph herself put on a great white cloak, delicate and lovely, threw a fine golden girdle 10.545. around her waist, and put a veil on her head. Then I went throughout the house, and, going to each man, spurred on my comrades with words meant to win them: 'Sleep no longer now, drowsing in sweet sleep, but let's go, for lady Circe's shown me the way!' 10.550. “So said I, and their manly hearts were persuaded. But not even from there did I lead my comrades unharmed. The youngest was a certain Elpenor, none too brave in war or sound in mind, who'd lain down far away from my comrades, in Circe' 10.555. acred home, wanting cool air and heavy with wine. He heard the noise and clamor of his comrades moving, got up suddenly, and in his mind completely forgot to go to the long ladder to come back down, so he fell straight down from the roof. His neck was broken 10.560. from the vertebrae and his soul went down to Hades. I said to them as they went on their way: 'Perhaps you think you're going home to your beloved fatherland, but Circe has ordained a different journey, to the house of Hades and dread Persephone 10.565. to consult the soul of Teiresias the Theban.' “So said I, and their dear heart was broken, and sitting down where they were, they wept and pulled out their hair, but no good result came of their weeping. “But when we were going to our swift ship and sea's shore 10.570. in grief, letting our thick tears fall, Circe came then and tethered beside the black ship a ram and a black female sheep, passing by us easily. Who with his eyes can perceive a god unwilling going either here or there?” 12.165. “I spoke of and made known each thing to my comrades while our well-built ship quickly reached the Sirens' island, for a harmless fair wind drove her on. The wind stopped soon after, and a windless calm followed, and a divinity lulled the waves to sleep. 12.170. My comrades stood up and furled the sail, stowed it in the hollow ship, then sat down at the oars and made the water white with polished pines. Then I cut through a big round cake of wax and kneaded a little bit of it in my well-knit hands. 12.175. The wax soon melted, since the sun's mighty force and the bright light of lord Hyperionides compelled it, and I rubbed it on the ears of all my comrades, one after another. They bound me on the ship, my hands and feet together, upright in the mast step, and fastened ropes from it 12.180. then they themselves sat and beat the gray sea with their oars. But when I was as far away as one shouting can be heard, quickly making way, the Sirens did not miss our sea-swift ship drawing near and prepared their clear-toned song. 'Come here, much-praised Odysseus, great glory of Achaeans 12.185. and land your ship so you can hear our voice. For no one ever passes by here with a black ship before he hears the honey-toned voice from our mouths, then after he enjoys it, he departs, knowing more, since we know everything, all that in wide Troy 12.190. Argives and Trojans suffered by the will of the gods. And we know whatever happens on the earth that feeds many.' “So said they as they cast their beautiful voice. Then my heart wished to hear them and I bid my comrades free me, by nodding with my eyebrows, but they fell forward and rowed. 12.195. Eurylochus and Perimedes stood up at once, bound me in more bonds, and squeezed them tighter. Then after they'd driven past them and we could then no longer hear the Sirens' voice or song, my trusty comrades immediately removed the wax 12.200. I'd rubbed upon their ears and released me from my bonds. “But when we'd left the island, soon afterward, I saw smoke and a great wave and heard a thud. Oars flew from the hands of the terrified and all then banged against the current. Our ship was held there 12.260. “Then after we escaped the rocks, and Scylla, and dread Charybdis, right then we reached the noble island of a god. The fine wide-browed cattleand many fat ship of the sun, Hyperion, were there. Then, while still in my black ship upon the sea 12.265. I heard the mooing of cattle being driven to the yard and the bleating of sheep, and the words of the blind seer, Teiresias the Theban, and of Circe the Aeaeanfell upon my heart, who very strongly ordered me to avoid the island of the sun who brings delight to mortals. 12.270. Then, my heart grieving, I said to my comrades: 'Comrades, though you're suffering evil, listen to my words, so I can tell you the prophecy of Teiresiasand of Circe the Aeaean, who very strongly ordered me to avoid the island of the sun who brings delight to mortals 12.275. for she said there'd be the most grim evil for us there, so, drive our black ship past the island!' “So said I, and their dear heart was broken, and Eurylochus, with hateful words, immediately answered me: 'You're a reckless one, Odysseus, with surpassing strength 12.280. and limbs that never tire. Indeed, you're completely made of iron, you who won't allow your comrades, overloaded with sleep and exhaustion, to make our way to land, there, back on a sea-girt island, where we could make a tasty supper. You order us instead to wander through the swift night as we are 12.285. driven away from an island, on the misty sea. Hard winds, ship wreckers, arise at night. How can anyone escape sheer destruction should a wind's storm somehow come suddenly, of South Wind or of stormy West Wind, who most often 12.290. hatter ships despite the lord gods' will? So, yes, let's yield now to black night, stay by our swift ship, and make ourselves supper, then go on board at dawn and sail upon the wide sea.' “So said Eurylochus, and the rest of my comrades assented. 12.295. Right then I knew that a divinity intended evil, and, voicing winged words, I said to him: 'Eurylochus, you can surely force me, one man as I am, but come, all of you, and swear a mighty oath to me, that if we find some herd of cattle or great flock of sheep 12.300. no one nohow with evil recklessness will kill an ox or any sheep, but at your ease you'll eat the food immortal Circe gave us.' “So said I, and they at once swore they wouldn't, as I bid them. Then after they'd sworn and completed the oath 12.305. we moored our well-built ship in a hollow harbor, near sweet water, and my comrades disembarked from the ship, then skillfully made supper. Then after they'd dispatched desire for food and drink, they remembered and wept for their beloved comrade 12.310. whom Scylla had snatched from the hollow ship and eaten, and sweet sleep came upon them as they wept. Then when it was the third part of the night, and the stars had headed down, Cloud-gatherer Zeus raised a blustery wind with a marvelous furious storm, and hid with cloud 12.315. both land and sea, as night rushed from heaven. When early-born rose-fingered Dawn appeared, we brought our ship to safety dragging her into a hollow cave where there were nymphs' seats and dancing places. Right then I held an assembly and said among them all: 12.320. 'Friends, since there's food and drink on our swift ship, let's keep our hands off the cattle, lest we in some way suffer, for these are the cattle and plump sheep of a dread god, of Helios, who sees all and hears all.' “So said I, and their manly hearts were persuaded. 12.325. Then a whole month South Wind blew incessantly, nor did any other of the winds arise then, except for South and East. As long as they had food and red wine, they kept away from the cattle, eager for life, but when all the ship's provisions were consumed 12.330. and by necessity they went roaming in pursuit of game, fish and fowl, whatever might reach their dear hands, with curved fishhooks, and hunger afflicted their bellies, right then I went away, up through the island, so I could pray to the gods in hope that one would show me the way to go. 12.335. But when going through the island I got free of my comrades, I washed my hands where there was shelter from the wind and prayed to all the gods who hold Olympus, who then poured sweet sleep upon my eyelids. Then Eurylochus broached an evil plan to our comrades: 12.340. 'Comrades, though you're suffering evil, listen to my words! All deaths are loathesome to wretched mortals, but the most pitiful is to die and meet one's doom from hunger. So come, let's drive off the best of the cattle of the sun and sacrifice to the immortals who hold wide heaven. 12.345. If we ever get to Ithaca, our fatherland, we'll immediately build a rich temple to the sun, Hyperion, and place in it offerings good and many. But if he becomes angry in some way about his straight-horned cattleand wants to destroy our ship, and the other gods follow along 12.350. I'd rather lose my life all at once gulping at a wave than be drained for a long time, as I am, on a desolate island.' “So said Eurylochus, and the rest of my comrades assented. They at once drove off the best of the cattle of the sun from nearby, for not far from our dark-prowed ship 12.355. the fine broad-browed curved-horned cattle were grazing. They stood around them and prayed to the gods, and plucked tender leaves from a tall leafy oak, since they had no white barley on our well-benched ship. Then after they prayed, they slaughtered and skinned them 12.360. cut out the thighs and covered them with fat, making a double fold, then laid raw flesh upon them. They didn't have wine to pour upon the blazing victims, so they made libation with water and roasted all the entrails. Then after the thighs were burned up and they'd tasted the entrails 12.365. they cut up the rest, and pierced them with spits on both sides. “Right then sweet sleep sped from my eyelids, and I made my way to my swift ship and sea's shore. But when, on my way, I was near my double-curved ship, right then the sweet aroma of burning fat surrounded me 12.370. and I cried out, wailing, to the gods immortal: 'Father Zeus, and other blessed gods who are forever, with ruthless sleep you very surely lulled me to confusion, while my comrades who stayed contrived a monstrous deed.' “A messenger came quickly to the sun, Hyperion 12.375. long-robed Lampetia, who told him that we'd killed his cattle. Enraged at heart, he said at once to the immortals: 'Father Zeus, and other blessed gods who are forever, make the comrades of Laertiades Odysseus pay a price, who killed my cattle wantonly, the cattle in whom 12.380. I delighted, when I went to starry heaven and when I'd turn back again from heaven to the earth. Unless they pay me fitting compensation for my cattle, I'll go down to the house of Hades and shine among the dead!' “Cloud-gatherer Zeus said to him in reply: 12.385. 'Yes, Helios, keep shining among immortals and mortal men upon grain-giving farmland, and I'll strike their ship soon with white lightning and shatter it into small pieces in the midst of the wine-dark sea.' “I heard this from fair-haired Calypso 12.390. who said she heard it herself from runner Hermes. “Then after I came down to the ship and sea, I went up to and reproached one and another, but we could find no remedy. The cattled had already died. Then the gods soon showed them portents. 12.395. Hides crawled, flesh, roasted and raw, mooed on the spits, and the sound was as of cattle. “For six days afterward my trusty comrades dined on the best of the cattle of the sun they'd driven off. But when Zeus Cronion added the seventh day 12.400. and right then the wind stopped rushing in a storm, we got aboard at once and sent her into the wide sea, setting up the mast and hoisting the white sail. “But when we'd left the island, and no other land appeared, only sea and sky 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 13.440. went to divine Lacedaemon, after the son of Odysseus. 15.1. BOOK 15 Pallas Athena arrived in spacious Lacedaemonto remind the son of great-hearted Odysseusof his return home and to spur on his returning. She found Telemachus and Nestor's splendid son 15.5. leeping on the porch of gloried Menelaus, with Nestorides truly tamed by soft sleep, but sweet sleep did not hold Telemachus, instead, in his heart through the ambrosial night anxiety for his father kept him awake. Bright-eyed Athena stood close and said to him: 15.10. “Telemachus, it's no longer fine for you to wander far from home, and left behind in your house your possessions and such haughty men, lest they divide and devour all your possessions and you make a fruitless journey. But very quickly urge battle-cry-brave Menelau 15.15. to send you, so you can find your noble mother still at home. For her father and brothers are already bidding her to marry Eurymachus, since he surpasses all the suitors in his gifts and has increased the bride price immensely. Don't let any property be carried from your home against your will. 15.20. For you know what kind of heart is in a woman's chest. She prefers to increase the house of him who weds her, but of her children from before and her dear wedded husband she no longer thinks or asks about them once he's dead. But you yourself go and entrust every thing 15.25. to whatever slave woman seems to be the best, until the gods show you your gloried wife. I'll tell you something else, and you must heed it in your heart. The best of the suitors, on purpose, wait in ambush for you in the strait between Ithaca and rugged Samos 15.30. eager to kill you before you reach your fatherland, but I don't expect that at all. Rather, the earth will cover some of the suitor men who devour your substance. But keep you well-built ship far from islands and sail by night as well. Whatever immortal watches over 15.35. and protects you will send a fair wind behind you. Then after you reach the first shore of Ithaca, urge your ship and all your comrades to the city, then, first of all, you yourself go to the swineherd who's the guardian of your pigs, and thinks so kindly of you. 15.40. Stay the night there, then urge him to the city to speak a message to prudent Penelope, that, in fact, she has you safe and come from Pylos.” So saying, she departed toward lofty Olympus, then he woke Nestorides from sweet sleep 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. 17.365. He made his way, from left to right, to beg from each man, holding out his hand on all sides, as if he'd been a beggar long ago. They felt pity for him, and gave to him, and wondered about him, and asked each other who he was and where he came from. And the goats' goatherd Melanthius spoke among them” 19.395. the good father of his mother, who surpassed all men in thievishness and in oaths. The god Hermes himself had given them to him, for he'd burned the thighs of kids and lambs to him, and Hermes graciously favored him. Autolycus had come to the rich kingdom of Ithaca 20.30. alone as he was among many. Athena came down from heaven and came near him. She was disguised as a woman in form. She stood over his head and said to him: “Why are you awake again, ill-fated beyond all men? Your house is this one, and your wife is this one in your house 20.35. your son too, the kind, I suppose, any man wishes were his son.” Adroit Odysseus said to her in reply: “Truly, goddess, you've said all these things duly, but I have something, this thing that the spirit in my heart ponders, how I can lay my hands upon the shameless suitors 20.40. alone as I am. They're always all together inside. Further, I still ponder in my mind this even greater thing, if I really were to kill them by your grace and that of Zeus, to where would I escape? I urge you to consider this.” Bright-eyed goddess Athena said back to him: 20.45. “Reckless one, anyone would trust even a lesser comrade, who's a mortal and doesn't know as many schemes, but I'm a god, the one who watches over you throughout, in all your labors, and I'll tell you openly, even if fifty troops of mortal men 20.50. tood around us eagerly to kill for Ares, even then you'd drive off their fat sheep and cattle. But, let sleep seize you. It's an annoyance, staying awake all night keeping watch, and you'll emerge from evils soon.” So said she, and she shed sleep upon his eyelids 20.55. then the goddess divine herself went back to Olympus. When sleep took hold of him, a sleep that loosens limbs, and loosened his heart's cares, his caring wife awoke and sat in her soft bed, crying. Then after she'd satisfied her heart with crying 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 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.” 24.510. Astute Telemachus said back to him in turn: “You'll see, if you but want to, father dear, as far as this heart goes, I'll in no way, as you say, shame your line.” So said he, and Laertes rejoiced and said: “Dear gods, what a day indeed this is for me! Yes, I'm very happy! 24.515. My son and my grandson are having a fight about their valor!” Bright-eyed Athena stood at his side and said to him: “Arceisiades, dearest by far of all my comrades, pray to father Zeus and his bright-eyed daughter, then quickly balance your long spear carefully and throw it!” 24.520. So said she, and Pallas Athena breathed great fury in him. He prayed to father Zeus and his bright-eyed daughter, then quickly balanced his long spear carefully and threw it, and hit Eupeithes, through his bronze-cheeked helmet, but it didn't ward off the spear, and the bronze went right on through it 24.525. then he fell with a thud, and his armor clattered upon him. Odysseus and his brilliant son fell on the front fighters, and struck them with swords and double-bladed spears. And they'd have killed them all and made them returnless, had not Athena, Aegis-bearer Zeus's daughter 24.530. houted with her voice and held back the whole host: “Ithacans, refrain from grievous warfare, so you may separate the soonest without bloodshed!” So said Athena, and green terror seized them. The battle gear flew from the hands of the fearful 24.535. then all of it fell on the ground, when the goddess voiced her voice, and they turned toward the city, anxious for their lives. Long-suffering divine Odysseus cried horribly, drew himself together and swooped, like an eagle flying high.

Then at last, bright-eyed Athena said to Odysseus: Zeus-born Laertiades, resourceful Odysseus, stop it!

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. |
