400The king of the gods; he
sends down a thunderbolt which destroys Odysseus’ remaining ship and causes
his crew to drown
200“I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, / tied them down under their rowing benches, / and called the rest: ‘All hands
aboard; / come, clear the beach and no one taste / the Lotus, or
you will lose your hope of home.’”
300“. . . Though I have been detained long by Calypso, / loveliest among goddesses, who held me / in her smooth caves, to be her heart’s delight, / as Circe of Aeaea, the enchantress, / desired me, and
detained me in her hall. / But in my heart I never gave consent.”
500
“Now I / chopped out a six-foot section of this pole / and set it
down before my men, who scraped it; / and when they had
it smooth, I hewed it again / to make a stake with
a pointed end.”
300“On thrones she seated them, and lounging
chairs, / while she prepared a meal of cheese and barley / and amber honey mixed
with Pramnian wine, / adding her own vile pinch, to make them lose / desire or thought
of our dear fatherland. / Scarce had they drunk when she flew after them / with her
long stick and shut them in a pigsty -- / bodies, voices, heads, and bristles, all / swinish now, though minds were still
unchanged.”
400“Sing in me, Muse, and
through me tell the story / of that man skilled in all ways
of contending, / the wanderer, harried for years on end, / after he plundered
the stronghold / on the proud height of Troy.”
500While Odysseus is at
the Land of thePhaeacians, he recalls
his wanderings and tells Alcinous what happened to him after he left Troy
200“‘Friends, / have we never been
in danger before this? / More fearsome, is it now, than when the Cyclops / penned us in his
cave? What power he had! / Did I not keep my nerve, and use my wits to find a way out for us? / . .
. / Heads up, lads! / We must obey the orders as I give them!’”
500He is the king in charge of the winds; he places the stormy winds in a bag so Odysseus can
sail back to Ithaca
800These characters get three of Odysseus’ men to eat a flower that makes them forget about their
homeland
200The story begins with Telemachus going off in search of his father who never returned from the Trojan War
600“‘Cyclops, / if ever mortal
man inquire / how you were put to shame and
blinded, tell him, / Odysseus, raider of cities,
took your eye: Laertes’ son, whose home’s on
Ithaca!’”
800
“‘It was our luck to come here; here we stand, / beholden for
your help, or any gifts / you give—as custom is to honor strangers.’”
200This monster has 12 tentacle-like legs, six heads on serpent-like
necks, and triple, razor-sharp fangs; kills six of
Odysseus’ men
800“Meanwhile, I crouched with my drawn sword to
keep / the surging phantoms from the
bloody pit / till I should know the presence of
Teiresias.”
