Nausicaa, going to a river near that place to wash the clothes of her father, mother, and brethren, while the clothes were drying played with her maids at ball; and Odysseus coming forth1 is fed and clothed, and led on his way to the house of her father, King Alcinous.
So there he lay asleep, the steadfast2 goodly Odysseus, fordone with toil3 and drowsiness4. Meanwhile Athene went to the land and the city of the Phaeacians, who of old, upon a time, dwelt in spacious5 Hypereia; near the Cyclopes they dwelt, men exceeding proud, who harried6 them continually, being mightier7 than they. Thence the godlike Nausithous made them depart, and he carried them away, and planted them in Scheria, far off from men that live by bread. And he drew a wall around the town, and builded houses and made temples for the gods and meted8 out the fields. Howbeit ere this had he been stricken by fate, and had gone down to the house of Hades, and now Alcinous was reigning9, with wisdom granted by the gods. To his house went the goddess, grey-eyed Athene, devising a return for the great-hearted Odysseus. She betook her to the rich-wrought bower10, wherein was sleeping a maiden11 like to the gods in form and comeliness12, Nausicaa, the daughter of Alcinous, high of heart. Beside her on either hand of the pillars of the door were two handmaids, dowered with beauty from the Graces, and the shining doors were shut.
