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 : ὁ 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 .

ἔνθʼ ἄλλοι μὲν πάντες , ὅσοι φύγον αἰπὺν ὄλεθρον ,
οἴκοι ἔσαν , πόλεμόν τε πεφευγότες ἠδὲ θάλασσαν ·
τὸν δʼ οἶον νόστου κεχρημένον ἠδὲ γυναικὸς
νύμφη πότνιʼ ἔρυκε Καλυψὼ δῖα θεάων
ἐν σπέσσι γλαφυροῖσι , λιλαιομένη πόσιν εἶναι .
ἀλλʼ ὅτε δὴ ἔτος ἦλθε περιπλομένων ἐνιαυτῶν ,
τῷ οἱ ἐπεκλώσαντο θεοὶ οἶκόνδε νέεσθαι
εἰς Ἰθάκην , οὐδʼ ἔνθα πεφυγμένος ἦεν ἀέθλων
καὶ μετὰ οἷσι φίλοισι . θεοὶ δʼ ἐλέαιρον ἅπαντες
νόσφι Ποσειδάωνος · ὁ δʼ ἀσπερχὲς μενέαινεν
ἀντιθέῳ Ὀδυσῆι πάρος ἣν γαῖαν ἱκέσθαι .

So now all who escaped death in battle or by shipwreck had got safely home except Odysseus , and he , though he was longing for his return [ nostos ] to his wife and country , was detained by the goddess Calypso , who had got him into a large cave and wanted to marry him . But as years went by , there came a time when the gods settled that he should go back to Ithaca ; even then , however , when he was among his own people , his trials [ athloi ] were not yet over ; nevertheless all the gods had now begun to pity him except Poseidon , who still persecuted him without ceasing and would not let him get home .

By now , all the survivors , all who avoided headlong death were safe at home , escaped the wars and waves . But one man alone … his heart set on his wife and his return—Calypso , the bewitching nymph , the lustrous goddess , held him back , deep in her arching caverns , craving him for a husband .
But then , when the wheeling seasons brought the year around , that year spun out by the gods when he should reach his home , Ithaca—though not even there would he be free of trials , even among his loved ones—then every god took pity , all except Poseidon . He raged on , seething against the great Odysseus till he reached his native land .
