"My dears, heaven has been
pleased to try me with more affliction than any other woman of my age
and country. First I lost my brave and lion-hearted husband, who had
every good quality [aretê] under heaven, and
whose kleos was great over all Hellas and middle Argos; and
now my darling son is at the mercy of the winds and waves, without my

not one of you would so much as think of giving me a call out of my
bed, though you all of you very well knew when he was starting. If I

holding it in his hand over Pieria; then he swooped down through the
firmament till he reached the level of the sea, whose waves he
skimmed like a cormorant that flies fishing every hole and corner of
the ocean, and drenching its thick plumage in the spray. He flew and
flew over many a weary wave, but when at last he got to the island
which was his journey's end, he left the sea and went on by land
till he came to the cave where the nymph Calypso lived.
He found her at home. There was a
large fire burning on the hearth, and one could smell from far the
fragrant reek of burning cedar and sandal wood. As for herself, she
was busy at her loom, shooting her golden shuttle through the warp
