Ἠὼς δ᾽ ἐκ λεχέων παρ᾽ ἀγαυοῦ Τιθωνοῖο
ὤρνυθ᾽ , ἵν᾽ ἀθανάτοισι φόως φέροι ἠδὲ βροτοῖσιν :
οἱ δὲ θεοὶ θῶκόνδε καθίζανον , ἐν δ᾽ ἄρα τοῖσι
Ζεὺς ὑψιβρεμέτης , οὗ τε κράτος ἐστὶ μέγιστον .
τοῖσι δ᾽ Ἀθηναίη λέγε κήδεα πόλλ᾽ Ὀδυσῆος
μνησαμένη : μέλε γάρ οἱ ἐὼν ἐν δώμασι νύμφης :
‘ Ζεῦ πάτερ ἠδ᾽ ἄλλοι μάκαρες θεοὶ αἰὲν ἐόντες ,
μή τις ἔτι πρόφρων ἀγανὸς καὶ ἤπιος ἔστω
σκηπτοῦχος βασιλεύς , μηδὲ φρεσὶν αἴσιμα εἰδώς ,
ἀλλ᾽ αἰεὶ χαλεπός τ᾽ εἴη καὶ αἴσυλα ῥέζοι :
ὡς οὔ τις μέμνηται Ὀδυσσῆος θείοιο
λαῶν οἷσιν ἄνασσε , πατὴρ δ᾽ ὣς ἤπιος ἦεν .
ἀλλ᾽ ὁ μὲν ἐν νήσῳ κεῖται κρατέρ᾽ ἄλγεα πάσχων
νύμφης ἐν μεγάροισι Καλυψοῦς , ἥ μιν ἀνάγκῃ
ἴσχει : ὁ δ᾽ οὐ δύναται ἣν πατρίδα γαῖαν ἱκέσθαι :
οὐ γάρ οἱ πάρα νῆες ἐπήρετμοι καὶ ἑταῖροι ,
οἵ κέν μιν πέμποιεν ἐπ᾽ εὐρέα νῶτα θαλάσσης .
νῦν αὖ παῖδ᾽ ἀγαπητὸν ἀποκτεῖναι μεμάασιν
οἴκαδε νισόμενον : ὁ δ᾽ ἔβη μετὰ πατρὸς ἀκουὴν
ἐς Πύλον ἠγαθέην ἠδ᾽ ἐς Λακεδαίμονα δῖαν . ’
ὤρνυθ᾽ , ἵν᾽ ἀθανάτοισι φόως φέροι ἠδὲ βροτοῖσιν :

And
now
,
as
Dawn
rose
from
her
couch
beside
Tithonos
-
harbinger
of
light
alike
to
mortals
and
immortals
-
the
gods
met
in
council
and
with
them
,
Zeus
the
lord
of
thunder
,
who
is
their
king
.
Thereon
Athena
began
to
tell
them
of
the
many
sufferings
of
Odysseus
,
for
she
pitied
him
away
there
in
the
house
of
the
nymph
Calypso
.
" Father Zeus , " said she , " and all you other gods that live in everlasting bliss , I hope there may never be such a thing as a kind and well-disposed ruler any more , nor one who will govern equitably . I hope they will be all henceforth cruel and unjust , for there is not one of his subjects who has not forgotten Odysseus , who ruled them as though he were their father . There he is , lying in great pain in an island where dwells the nymph Calypso , who will not let him go ; and he cannot get back to his own country , for he can find neither ships nor sailors to take him over the sea . Furthermore , wicked people are now trying to murder his only son Telemakhos , who is coming home from Pylos and Lacedaemon , where he has been to see if he can get news of his father . "
