ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε , μοῦσα , πολύτροπον , ὃς μάλα πολλὰ
πλάγχθη , ἐπεὶ Τροίης ἱερὸν πτολίεθρον ἔπερσεν :
πολλῶν δ᾽ ἀνθρώπων ἴδεν ἄστεα καὶ νόον ἔγνω ,
πολλὰ δ᾽ ὅ γ᾽ ἐν πόντῳ πάθεν ἄλγεα ὃν κατὰ θυμόν ,
[ 5 ] ἀρνύμενος ἥν τε ψυχὴν καὶ νόστον ἑταίρων .
ἀλλ᾽ οὐδ᾽ ὣς ἑτάρους ἐρρύσατο , ἱέμενός περ :
αὐτῶν γὰρ σφετέρῃσιν ἀτασθαλίῃσιν ὄλοντο ,
νήπιοι , οἳ κατὰ βοῦς Ὑπερίονος Ἠελίοιο
ἤσθιον : αὐτὰρ ὁ τοῖσιν ἀφείλετο νόστιμον ἦμαρ .
[ 10 ] τῶν ἁμόθεν γε , θεά , θύγατερ Διός , εἰπὲ καὶ ἡμῖν .
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
[ 15 ] 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
[ 20 ] νόσφι Ποσειδάωνος : ὁ δ᾽ ἀσπερχὲς μενέαινεν
ἀντιθέῳ Ὀδυσῆι πάρος ἣν γαῖαν ἱκέσθαι .

A
man
of
many
tricks
-
O
Muse
-
tell
me
of
him
,
he
who
was made to wander very many ways , after the sacred citadel of Troy was sacked :
Many men and towns he saw , and many minds he came to know ,
Much pain he suffered in his soul at sea ,
[ 5 ] Striving to gain both his life and the homecoming of his companions .
But he saved himself while he could not his companions , even though he so desired it .
For through their own reckless folly , they destroyed themselves .
With childlike ignorance , they consumed the cattle of Hyperion Helios :
So he took from them their homecoming day .
[ 10 ] O Goddess , daughter of Zeus - tell us of these things , beginning at any point you like .
Now , indeed , men had escaped utter destruction ,
And were returned home , away from both war and sea :
But Odysseus alone , longing for his return home and his woman ,
Was restrained in hollow caverns by the mighty goddess Calypso -
[ 15 ] She desiring Odysseus to be her husband .
But , as the seasons rolled around , the time came
When the Gods determined he should return home
To Ithaca , where even there he would not yet escape and free of toils ,
Among his dear friends . And the Gods were all feeling pity
[ 20 ] Except Poseidon : who was vehemently raging
Against godlike Odysseus until he returned to his home land .
