Ilium (Turkey) (search for this): book 1, card 1
Tell
me, O Muse, of that many-sided hero who traveled far and wide after
he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and
many were the people with whose customs and thinking
[noos] he was acquainted; many things he suffered at
sea while seeking to save his own life [psukhê]
and to achieve the safe homecoming [nostos] of his
companions; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they
perished through their own sheer recklessness in eating the cattle of
the Sun-god Helios; so the god prevented them from ever reaching
home. Tell me, as you have told those who came before me, about all
these things, O daughter of Zeus, starting from whatsoever point you
choose.
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

But as the sun was rising from the
fair sea into the firmament of heaven to shed light on mortals and
immortals, they reached Pylos the city of Neleus. Now the people of
Pylos were gathered on the sea shore to offer sacrifice of black
bulls to Poseidon lord of the Earthquake. There were nine guilds with
five hundred men in each, and there were nine bulls to each guild. As
they were eating the inward meats and burning the thigh bones [on
the embers] in the name of Poseidon, Telemakhos and his cPylos were gathered on the sea shore to offer sacrifice of black
bulls to Poseidon lord of the Earthquake. There were nine guilds with
five hundred men in each, and there were nine bulls to each guild. As
they were eating the inward meats and burning the thigh bones [on
the embers] in the name of Poseidon, Telemakhos and his crew
arrived, furled their sails, brought their ship to anchor, and went
ashore.
Athena led the way and Telemakhos
followed her. Presently she said, "Telemakhos, you must not at all
feel aidôs or be nervous; you have taken this voyage to
try and find out where your father is buried and how he came by his
end; so go straight up to Nestor that we may see what he has got to
tell us. Beg of him to speak the truth, and he will tell no lies, for
he is an excellent person."
"But how, Mentor," replied
Lacedaemon (Greece) (search for this): book 4, card 1
They reached the low lying city of
Lacedaemon, where they drove straight to the halls of Menelaos. They
found him in his own house, feasting with his many clansmen in honor
of the wedding of his son, and also of his daughter, whom he was
marrying to the son of that valiant warrior Achilles. He had given
his consent and promised her to him while he was still at Troy, and
now the gods were bringing the marriage about; so he was sending her
with chariots and horses to the city of the Myrmidons over whom
Achilles’ son was reigning. For his only son he had found a
bride from Sparta, daughter of Alektor. This son, Megapenthes, was
born to him of a bondwoman, for heaven granted Helen no more children
after she had borne Hermione, who was fair as golden Aphrodite
herself.
So the neighbors and kinsmen of
Menelaos were feasting and making merry in his house. There was a
singer also to sing to them and play his lyre, while two tumblers
went about performing in the midst of them when the man str
