In a Council of the Gods, Poseidon absent, Pallas procureth an order for the restitution1 of Odysseus; and appearing to his son Telemachus, in human shape, adviseth him to complain of the Wooers before the Council of the people, and then go to Pylos and Sparta to inquire about his father.
Tell me, Muse3, of that man, so ready at need, who wandered far and wide, after he had sacked the sacred citadel4 of Troy, and many were the men whose towns he saw and whose mind he learnt, yea, and many the woes5 he suffered in his heart upon the deep, striving to win his own life and the return of his company. Nay6, but even so he saved not his company, though he desired it sore. For through the blindness of their own hearts they perished, fools, who devoured7 the oxen of Helios Hyperion: but the god took from them their day of returning. Of these things, goddess, daughter of Zeus, whencesoever thou hast heard thereof, declare thou even unto us.
Now all the rest, as many as fled from sheer destruction, were at home, and had escaped both war and sea, but Odysseus only, craving9 for his wife and for his homeward path, the lady nymph Calypso held, that fair goddess, in her hollow caves, longing10 to have him for her lord. But when now the year had come in the courses of the seasons, wherein the gods had ordained11 that he should return home to Ithaca, not even there was he quit of labours, not even among his own; but all the gods had pity on him save Poseidon, who raged continually against godlike Odysseus, till he came to his own country. Howbeit Poseidon had now departed for the distant Ethiopians, the Ethiopians that are sundered
