Odyssey, Book I (lines 1–25)
[lines 1–10: The Proem]
line 1: Tell/sing to me, O Muse, of the man of many turns (polýtropon), who very much
line 2: wandered, after he destroyed the sacred citadel of Troy;
line 3: of many men he saw the cities and knew their mind / way of thinking,
line 4: and many sufferings he endured in his heart upon the sea,
line 5: striving for his own life and for the return of his companions.
line 6: But not even so did he save his companions, though desiring to do so;
line 7: for through their own reckless acts / folly they perished,
line 8: fools, who the cattle of Hyperion the Sun
line 9: ate; but he took away from them the day of their return.
line 10: Of these things, starting from any point, O goddess, daughter of Zeus, speak to us as well.
[lines 11–25: The Situation of the Gods and Odysseus]
line 11: Then all the others, as many as had escaped sheer destruction,
line 12: were at home, having escaped both the war and the sea;
line 13: but him alone, who longed for his return and his wife,
line 14: the queenly nymph held back, Calypso, divine among goddesses,
line 15: in her hollow caves, desiring him to be her husband.
line 16: But when at last the year came, in the revolving of time,
line 17: in which the gods spun for him to return home,
line 18: to Ithaca, not even there was he free from struggles / toil,
line 19: even though he was among his loved ones. And all the gods had pity [on him],
line 20: except Poseidon; and he relentlessly raged
line 21: against divine Odysseus, before he reached his land.
line 22: But he [Poseidon] had gone to the Ethiopians who dwell far off,
line 23: the Ethiopians who are divided into two parts, the most distant of men,
line 24: some where Hyperion [the Sun] sets, others where he rises,
line 25: to receive a hecatomb of bulls and lambs.
