ἔνθ᾽ ἄλλοι μὲν πάντες , ὅσοι φύγον αἰπὺν ὄλεθρον ,
οἴκοι ἔσαν , πόλεμόν τε πεφευγότες ἠδὲ θάλασσαν :
τὸν δ᾽ οἶον νόστου κεχρημένον ἠδὲ γυναικὸς
νύμφη πότνι᾽ ἔρυκε Καλυψὼ δῖα θεάων
ἐν σπέσσι γλαφυροῖσι , λιλαιομένη πόσιν εἶναι .
ἀλλ᾽ ὅτε δὴ ἔτος ἦλθε περιπλομένων ἐνιαυτῶν ,
τῷ οἱ ἐπεκλώσαντο θεοὶ οἶκόνδε νέεσθαι
εἰς Ἰθάκην , οὐδ᾽ ἔνθα πεφυγμένος ἦεν ἀέθλων
καὶ μετὰ οἷσι φίλοισι . θεοὶ δ᾽ ἐλέαιρον ἅπαντες
νόσφι Ποσειδάωνος : δ᾽ ἀσπερχὲς μενέαινεν
ἀντιθέῳ Ὀδυσῆι πάρος ἣν γαῖαν ἱκέσθαι .
Find the beginning .
All the other Greeks
who had survived the brutal sack of Troy
sailed safely home to their own wives - except
this man alone . Calypso , a great goddess ,
had trapped him in her cave ; she wanted him
to be her husband . When the year rolled round
in which the gods decreed he should go home
to Ithaca , his troubles still went on .
The man was friendless . All the gods took pity ,
except Poseidon ' s anger never ended
until Odysseus was back at home .
By now the other warriors , those that had escaped headlong ruin by sea or in battle , were safely home . Only Odysseus tarried , shut up by Lady Calypso , a nymph and very Goddess , in her hewn-out caves . She craved him for her bed-mate : while he was longing for his house and his wife . Of a truth the rolling seasons had at last brought up the year marked by the Gods for his return to Ithaca ; but not even there among his loved things would he escape further conflict . Yet had all the Gods with lapse of time grown compassionate towards Odysseus all but Poseidon , whose enmity flamed ever against him till he had reached his home .
