! Hall, Arthur of Grantham ! Rawlyns, Roger ! Colse, Peter ! Chapman, George Wound with his wisdom to his wished stay; That wandered wondrous far, when he the town Of sacred Troy had sack'd and shivered down; The cities of a world of nations, With all their manners, minds, and fashions, He saw and knew; at sea felt many woes, Much care sustained, to save from overthrows Himself and friends in their retreat for home; But so their fates he could not overcome, Though much he thirsted it. O men unwise, They perish'd by their own impieties, That in their hunger's rapine would not shun The oxen of the lofty-going Sun, Who therefore from their eyes the day bereft Of safe return. These acts, in some part left, Tell us, as others, deified Seed of Jove.

! Grantham, Thomas ! Ogilby, John Who (Troy b'ing sack'd) coasting the Universe, Saw many Cities, and their various Modes; Much suffering, tost by Storms on raging Floods, His Friends conducting to their Native Coast: But all in vain, for he his Navy lost, And they their Lives, prophanely feasting on Herds consecrated to the glorious Sun; Who much incens'd obstructed so their way, They ne'er return'd : Jove's Daughter this display. ! Hobbes, Thomas That having sack’d the sacred town of Troy, Wander’d so long at sea; what course he ran By winds and tempests driven from his way: That saw the cities, and the fashions knew Of many men, but suffer’d grievous pain To save his own life, and bring home his crew; Though for his crew, all he could do was vain, They lost themselves by their own insolence, Feeding, like fools, on the Sun’s sacred kine; Which did the splendid deity incense To their dire fate.

(“Graduate of Oxford”) O Muse, inspire me to tell of the crafty man, who wandered very much after he had  brought to destruction the sacred city of Tioy, and saw the cities of many men, and became acquainted with their disposition. He suffered many griefs in his mind on the sea, to preserve his own life, and to obtain a return for his companions; but not even thus, although anxious, did he save his companions: for they perished by their own wickedness, fools who consumed the cattle of the Sun who journeys above; but he deprived them of their return. O Goddess, daughter of Jove, relate even to us some of these things at least. ! Sotheby, William Who, fertile in resources, wander'd wide, And when Troy's sacred walls in dust were laid, Men's varying moods and many a realm survey'd. He much endured on ocean's stormy wave, Intent his followers, and himself to save, In vain:—they perish'd by their guilt undone; Fools! who devour'd the bullocks of the Sun— The God, in vengeance for his cattle slain, In their return destroy'd them on the main. Daughter of Jove! deign thou to us disclose, Celestial Muse, a portion of their woes. ! Anonymous (“Graduate of Dublin”) ! Munford, William ! Brandreth, Thomas Shaw ! Buckley, Theodore Alois O Muse, sing to me of the man full of resources, who wandered very much after he had destroyed the sacred city of Troy, and saw the cities of many men, and learned their manners. Many griefs also in his mind did he suffer on the sea, although seeking to preserve his own life, and the return of his companions; but not even thus, although anxious, did he extricate his companions : for they perished by their own infatuation, fools! who devoured the oxen of the Sun who journeys on high; but he deprived them of their return.

! Barter, William G. T., Esq. Who, after he Troy's sacred town o'erthrew, Did tossing wander much, and cities scan Of men a many, and their genius knew; Woes manifold by sea he suffer'd too While life and friends' return he 'd fain have won. Nathless he rescued not his comrades, who By their own wilful folly were undone; The fools! that ate the beeves of the o'ergoing Sun. And from them verily he took away The day of their return. These things to me, Daughter of Zeus, O goddess, somewhat say. ! Hamilton, Sidney G. and Thomas Clark ! Newman, Francis William ! Wright, Ichabod Charles ! Arnold, Matthew ! Alford, Henry Wandered, when he had sacked Troy’s sacred fortress; Many men’s town he saw, and knew their manners; Many the woes he suffered on the ocean, To win his life, and safety for his comrades. But them he might not rescue, though he loved them; For they were slain amidst their impious daring, Fools, who the cattle of the mighty Sun-god Devoured,—and He cut short their homeward journey. Of all this, Goddess, what thou wilt, inform us. ! Worsley, Philip Stanhope Who of men's minds did much experience reap, And knew the citied realms of many a king, Even from the hour he smote the Trojan keep. Also a weight of sorrows in the deep, Brooding he bore, in earnest hope to save, 'Mid hard emprise and labour all to keep, Himself and comrades from a watery grave — Whom yet he rescued not with zeal nor yeareings brave; For they were slain in their own foolishness. Self-blinded, feasting on Hyperion's kine. He, the great Sun, in vengeance merciless, Wroth for the slaughter of his herds divine, Did bend their fortunes to a stern decline. And raze out wholly their returning day With disadventure and destroying tyne — These even to me, who hearken as I may, Great goddess, child of Zeus, unfold in verse, I pray! ! Giles, Rev. Dr. John Allen] Εννεπε declare μοιI to me, Мουσα Muse, ανδρα the man πολυτροπον of many fortunes, ός whoπλαγχθη wandered μαλα πολλα very much, επει when επερσεν he had destroyed ιερον πτολιεθρον the sacred city Τροιης of Troy: ιδε δε and saw αστεα towns και and εγνων learnt νοον the mood πολλων ανθρωπων of many men, πολλα δε αλγεα but many sorrows όγε he indeed παθε suffered όν κατα θυμον in his soul, αρνυμενος while grasping ήν τε ψυχην both his own life και and νοστον the return έταιρων of his companions. Αλλα but ουδε not even ώς thus ερρυσατο did he save έταρους his companions ίεμενος περ though bent upon it: ολοντο γαρ for they perished σφετερησιν ατασσθαλιησι by their own phrensies, νηπιοι fools, όι who κατα ησθιον ate up βους the oxen Ήελιοιο of the SunΎπερινος who rolls above us: αυταρ but ό he αφειλετο took away τοισι from them νοστιμον ημαρ the day of their return: των of these things άμοθεν γε from whatever source, θεα O goddess, θυγατερ daughter Διος of Jupiter, ειπε tell και ημιν to us also. ! Dart, J. Henry ! Norgate, T. S. Far wandering, when he had sacked Troy’s sacred Town; Tell me, O Muse, his tale; how too he conned The manners of mankind, and visited Full many a City, and how on the deep he suffered Many a heart-pang, striving to secure His own and comrades’ lives and safe return, Yet them he rescued not, howe’er desirous; For by their own blind folly they all perished: Fools that they were! to eat the Sun-god’s herds; So, Hyperion, he who Walks above, Bereft them of their day of home-return! Whereof, from whatsoever source, O goddess, Daughter of Zeus, vouchsafe to tell e’en Us!— ! Derby, 14th Earl of (Edward Smith-Stanley) ! Worsley, Philip Stanhope and John Conington ! Musgrave, George Tost to and fro by fate, who, when his arms Had laid Troy’s holy city in the dust, Far wand’ring roam’d on many a tribe of men To bend his gaze, their minds and thoughts to learn. Grief upon grief encounter’d he, when, borne On ocean-waves, his life he carried off A prize from perils rescued, and would fain Have homeward led his brethren in arms; But, not to him,—not to his anxious zeal Was giv’n their rescue; destin’d as they were In their mad arrogance to perish; fools! That dared to seize, and to consume for food, Hyperion’s herds, the oxen of the Sun That walks on high, by whose behest the day Of their return was evermore denied. And thou, too, goddess daughter of great Jove, The theme pursue, and thine own record bear! ! Simcox, Edwin W. ! Blackie, John Stuart ! Herschel, Sir John ! Calverley, Charles Stuart ! Cochrane, James Inglis ! Bigge-Wither, Rev. Lovelace Who wandered far and wide full sore bestead, When he had razed the mighty town of Troy: And-of-many-a-race of human-kind he saw The cities; and he learned their mind and ways : And on the deep full many-a-woe he bore In his own hosom, while he strove to save His proper life, and-his-comrades’ home-return. But them not so he saved with all his zeal; For they in their own wilful folly perished: Infatuates! to devour Hyperion’s kine! So he bereft them of their home-return. Of these things, Goddess, where thou wilt beginning, Daughter of Zeus, the tale tell e’en to us! ! Edgington, G. W. When he had raz'd the walls of sacred Troy, And many towns saw, many customs learnt, And many griefs endur'd upon the sea; Anxious to save his comrades and himself: But them he sav'd not, though desiring it: But through their rash deeds perish'd of that band Those foolish men, who ate Apollo's kine: That god depriv'd them of return's glad day. Of these men, goddess, tell us too in part. ! Merivale, Charles, Dean of Ely ! Bryant, William Cullen Who, having overthrown the sacred town Of Ilium, wandered far and visited The capitals of many notians, learned The customs of their dwellers, and endured Great suffering on the deep; his life was oft In peril, as he labored to bring back His comrades to their homes. He saved them not, Though earnestly he strove; for they perished all Through their own folly ; for they banqueted, Madmen! upon the oxen of the Sun, — The all-o'erlooking Sun, who cut them off, From their return. O goddess, virgin child Of Jove, relate some'part of this to me. ! Cordery, John Graham Resourceful, who, storm-buffeted far and wide, > After despoiling of Troy's sacred tower, Beheld the cities of mankind, and knew Their various temper! Many on the sea The sorrows in his inmost heart he bore For rescue of his comrades and his life; Those not for all his effort might he save; Fools, of their own perversities they fell, Daring consume the cattle of the Sun Hyperion, who bereft them of return! That we too may have knowledge, sing these things, Daughter of £eus, beginning whence thou wilt! ! Calacleugh, W. G. ! Rose, John Benson

! Barnard, Mordaunt Roger Who wandered far, when sacred Troy he sacked; Saw towns of many men, learned all they knew, Winning his own life and his friends’ return. Yet them he saved not, earnest though he was, For by their own temerity they died. Fools! who devoured the oxen of the sun, Who from them took the day of their return. [Muse, child of Jove! from some source tell us this.] ! Merry, William Walter and James Riddell Greek text with commentary &mdash; ! Cayley, C. B. ! Mongan, Roscoe skilled in sxpedients, who wandered very much after he had brought to destruction the sacred city of Troy, and saw the cities of many men, and become acquainted with their dispositions. And he, indeed, on the deep, endured in bis mind many sufferings, whilst endeavoring to secure his own life and the return of his companions; but not even thus, although anxious, did he save his companions : for they perished by their own infatuation; foolish [men that they were], who did eat up the Sun who journeys above; but he deprived them of their return [the day of return]. Of these events, arising from whatever cause, O goddess! daughter of Jove, inform us also. ! Butcher, Samuel Henry and Andrew Lang who wandered far and wide, after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy, and many were the men whose towns he saw and whose mind he learnt, yea, and many the woes he suffered in his heart upon the deep, striving to win his own life and the return of his company. Nay, but even so he saved not his company, though he desired it sore. For through the blindness of their own hearts they perished, fools, who devoured the oxen of Helios Hyperion: but the god took from them their day of returning. Of these things, goddess, daughter of Zeus, whencesoever thou hast heard thereof, declare thou even unto us. ! Schomberg, G. A. So far, so long, after he overthrew Troy's holy citadel ; of, many men He saw the cities, and their manners learned; And woes he suffered on the deep ; he strove To win his comrades' lives, and safe return. But all his strivings failed to rescue them: They perished for their witless sacrilege, Who ate the oxen of Hyperion Sun; Hence nevermore saw they their native land. Daughter of Jove, help us to tell the tale. ! Du Cane, Sir Charles Doomed, when he sacred Troy had sacked, to wander far and long. Muse! of that hero versatile indite to me the song, Doomed, when he sacred Troy had sacked, to wander far and long. Who saw the towns of many men, much knowledge did obtain Anent their ways, and with much woe was heart-wrung on the main, Seeking his own life to preserve, his friends' return to gain. E'en so he rescued not his friends, though eagerly he strove, For them their own infatuate deeds to direful ending drove. Fools, who the sun-god's sacred beeves dared madly to devour, Doomed by his anger ne'er to see of glad return the hour. Sing, goddess, child of mighty Jove, of these events, I pray, And from what starting-point thou wilt begin with me the lay. ! Way, Arthur Sanders (Avia) Who, when low he had laid Troy town, unto many a far land came, And many a city beheld he, and knew the hearts of their folk, And by woes of the sea was unquelled, o'er the rock of his spirit that broke, When he fain would won for a prey his life, and his friends' return, Yet never they saw that day, howsoever his heart might yearn, But they perished every one, by their own mad deeds did they fall, For they slaughtered the kine of the Sun, and devoured them — fools were they all. So the God in his wrath took awav their day of return for their guilt. O Goddess, inspire my lay, with their tale; take it up as thou wilt. ! Hayman, Henry Greek text with "marginal references, various readings, notes and appendices." &mdash; ! Hailstone, Herbert ! Hamilton, Sidney G. ''but a commentary. Edition inclusive'' of Books 11&thinsp;–&thinsp;24 &mdash; ! Lang, Andrew, Walter Leaf, and Ernst Meyers ! Palmer, George Herbert who wandered long after he sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. Many the men whose towns he saw, whose ways he proved ; and many a pang he bore in his own breast at sea while struggling for his' life and his men's safe return. Yet even so, by all his zeal, he did not save his men; for through their own perversity they perished— fools! who devoured the kine of the exhalted Sun. Of this, O goddess, daughter of Zeus, beginning where thou wilt, speak to us also. ! Morris, William After the Holy Burg, Troy town, he had wasted with war; He saw the towns of menfolk, and the mind of men did he learn; As he warded his life in the world, and his fellow-farers' return, Many a grief of heart on the deep-sea flood he bore, Nor yet might he save his fellows, for all that he longed for it sore They died of their own soul's folly, for witless as they were They ate up the beasts of the Sun, the Rider of the air, And he took away from them all their dear returning day; O goddess, O daughter of Zeus, from whencesoever ye may, Gather the tale, and tell it, yea even to us at the last! ! Howland, G. Ills was made to endure, when he Troy's sacred city had wasted; Many the people whose cities he saw,and learned of their customs, Many also the sorrows he suffered at sea in his spirit, Striving to save his own life and secure the return of his comrades But not thus his comrades he saved, however he wished it, For by their own presumptuous deeds they foolishly perished: Madmen they, who devoured the sun god, Hyperion's oxen, And in revenge he took from them their day of returning. Of these things, thou goddess, daughter of Jove, tell us also. ! Purves, John ! Bateman, C. W. and R. Mongan ! Butler, Samuel travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them.

Of many men, and many a time at sea Within his heart he bore calamity, While his own life he laboured to redeem And bring his fellows back from jeopardy.

Yet not his fellows thus from death he won, Fain as he was to save them: who undone By their own hearts' infatuation died, Fools, that devoured the oxen of the Sun,

Hyperion: and therefore he the day Of their returning homeward reft away. Goddess, God's daughter, grant that now thereof We too may hear, such portion as we may. ! Tibbetts, E. A. ! Blakeney, E. H. ! Cotterill, Henry Bernard Wandered whenas he had wasted the sacred town of the Trojans. Many a people he saw and beheld their cities and customs, Many a woe he endured in his heart as he tossed on the ocean, Striving to win him his life and to bring home safely his comrades. Ah but he rescued them not, those comrades, much as he wished it. Ruined by their own act of infatuate madness they perished, Fools that they were—who the cows of the sun-god, lord Hyperion, Slaughtered and ate; and he took from the men their day of returning. Sing—whence-ever the lay—sing, Zeus-born goddess, for us too! ! Lewis, Arthur Garner ! Murray, Augustus Taber who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. Many were the men whose cities he saw and whose mind he learned, aye, and many the woes he suffered in his heart upon the sea, seeking to win his own life and the return of his comrades. Yet even so he saved not his comrades, though he desired it sore, for through their own blind folly they perished—fools, who devoured the kine of Helios Hyperion; but he took from them the day of their returning. Of these things, goddess, daughter of Zeus, beginning where thou wilt, tell thou even unto us. ! Caulfeild, Francis When, by his wondrous guile, he had sacked Troy's sacred fortress. Cities of various men he saw: their thoughts he discernéd. Many a time, in the deep, his heart was melted for trouble. Striving to win his life, and eke return for his comrades: Yet, though he strove full sore, he could not save his companions, For, as was meet and just, through deeds of folly they perished: Fools ! who devoured the oxen of Him who rides in the heavens, Helios, who, in his course, missed out their day of returning. Yet, how they fared and died, be gracious, O Goddess, to tell us. ! Marris, Sir S. William

! Rieu, Emile Victor Muse to help me tell is that resourceful man who roamed the wide world after he had sacked the holy citadel of Troy. He saw the cities of many peoples and he learnt their ways. He suffered many hardships on the high seas in his struggles to preserve his life and bring his comrades home. But he failed to save those comrades, in spite of all his efforts. It was their own sin that brought them to their doom, for in their folly they devoured the oxen of Hyperion the Sun, and the god saw to it that they should never return. This is the tale I pray the divine Muse to unfold to us. Begin it, goddess, at whatever point you will. ! Andrew, S. O. So long and so far when Ilion's keep he had sack'd,   And the city and mind of many a people he knew, And many a woe he endur'd on the face of the deep To win both life for himself and his comrades' return; Yet for all his striving he brought not his company home, For they by their own blindness at last were stroy'd, Fools! who ate of the sacred beeves of the Sun And he, Hyperion, ras'd out their day of return: Sing, then, O daughter of Zeus, that Wanderer's tale. ! Chase, Alsten Hurd and William G. Perry ! Lattimore, Richmond who was driven far journeys, after he had sacked Troy's sacred citadel. Many were they whose cities he saw, whose minds he learned of, many the pains he suffered in his spirit on the wide sea, struggling for his own life and the homecoming of his companions. Even so he could not save his companions, hard though he strove to; they were destroyed by their own wild recklessness, fools, who devoured the oxen of Helios, the Sun God, and he took away the day of their homecoming. From some point here, goddess, daughter of Zeus, speak, and begin our story. ! Andrew, S. O. and Michael J. Oakley ! Graves, Robert ! Rees, Ennis How he wandered both long and far after sacking The city of holy Troy. May were the towns He saw and many the men whose minds he knew, And many were the woes his stout heart suffered at sea As he fought to return alive with living comrades. Them he could not save, though much he longed to, For through their own thoughtless greed they died -- blind fools Who slaughtered the Sun's own cattle, Hyperion's herd, For food, and so by him were kept from returning. Of all these things, O Goddess, daughter of Zeus, Beginning wherever you swish, tell even us. ! Fitzgerald, Robert of that man skilled in all ways of contending, the wanderer, harried for years on end, after he plundered the stronghold on the proud height of Troy. He saw the townlands and learned the minds of many distant men, and weathered many bitter nights and days in his deep heart at sea, while he fought only to save his life, to bring his shipmates home. But not by will nor valor could he save them, for their own recklessness destroyed them all-- children and fools, they killed and feasted on the cattle of Lord Hêlios, the Sun, and he who moves all day through heaven took from their eyes the dawn of their return. Of these adventures, Muse, daughter of Zeus, tell us in our time, lift up great song again. ! Epps, Preston H. ! Cook, Albert Ways wandered when he had sacked Troy's holy citadel; He saw the cities of many men, and he knew their thought; On the ocean he suffered many pains within his heart, Striving for his life and his companions' return. But he did not save his companions, though he wanted to: They lost their own lives because of their recklessness. The fools, they devoured the cattle of Hyperion, The Sun, and he took away the day of their return. Begin the tale somewhere for us also, goddess, daughter of Zeus. ! Hull, Denison Bingham

! Shewring, Walter of a hero. This was the man of wide-ranging spirit who had sacked the sacred town of Troy and who wandered afterwards long and far. Many were those whose cities he viewed and whose minds he came to know, many the troubles that vexed his heart as he sailed the seas, labouring to save himself and to bring his comrades home. But his comrades he could not keep from ruin, strive as he might; they perished instead by their own presumptuousness. Fools, they devoured the cattle of Hyperion, and he, the sun-god, cut off from them the day of their homecoming. Goddess, daughter of Zeus, to me in turn impart some knowledge of all these things, beginning where you will. ! Hammond, Martin of much resource, who was made to wander far and long, after he had sacked the sacred city of Troy. Many were the men whose lands he saw and came to know their thinking, many too the miseries at sea which he suffered in his heart as he sought to win his own life and the safe return of his companions. They perished through their own arrant folly – the fools, they ate the cattle of Hyperion the Sun, and he took away the day of their return. Start the story where you will, goddess, daughter of Zeus, and share it now with us. ! Mandelbaum, Allen the man who wandered many paths of exile after he sacked Troy's sacred citadel. He saw the cities – mapped the minds – of many; and on the sea, his spirit suffered every adversity – to keep his life intact, to bring his comrades back. In that last task, his will was firm and fast, and yet he failed: he could not save his comrades. Fools, they foiled themselves: they ate the oxen of the Sun, the herd of Helios Hyperion; the lord of light requited their transgression – he took away the day of their return. Muse, tell us of these matters. Daughter of Zeus, my starting point is any point you choose. ! Reck, Michael

! Rieu, Emile Victor (posthumous, revised by D. C. H. Rieu and Peter V. Jones) man who was driven to wander far and wide after he had sacked the holy citadel of Troy. He saw the cities of many people and he learnt their ways. He suffered great anguish on the high seas in his struggles to preserve life and bring his comrades home. But he failed to save those comrades, in spite of all his efforts. It was their own transgression that brought them to their doom, for in their folly they devoured the oxen of Hyperion the Sun-god and he saw to it that they would never return. Tell us this story, goddess daughter of Zeus, beginning at whatever point you will. ! Fagles, Robert man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy. Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds, many pains he suffered, heartsick on the open sea, fighting to save his life and bring his comrades home. But he could not save them from disaster, hard as he strove&nbnsp;– the recklessness of their own ways destroyed them all, the blind fools, they devoured the cattle of the Sun and the Sungod blotted out the day of their return. Launch out on his story, Muse, daughter of Zeus, start from where you will&nbnsp;–sing for our time too. ! Kemball-Cook, Brian ! Dawe, R. D. Tell me, Muse, of the versatile man who was driven off course many times after he had sacked the holy citadel of Troy. Many were the peoples whose cities he saw, and whose minds he got to know; and at sea many were the pains he felt in his heart as he tried to secure his own life and his comrades’ return home. Even so he did not save them, much as he wanted to. Instead they perished through their own outrageous, foolish men who ate up the cattle of Hyperion the Sun; and he took from the the day of their homecoming. From some point or other, goddess, daughter of Zeus, tell us too about these things. ! Reading, Peter ! Lombardo, Stanley Of the cunning hero The wanderer, blown off course time and again After he plundered Troy's sacred heights. Speak Of all the cities he saw, the minds he grasped, The suffering deep in his heart at sea As he struggled to survive and bring his men home But could not save them, hard as he tried – The fools – destroyed by their own recklessness When they ate the oxen of Hyperion the Sun, And that god snuffed out their day of return. Of these things, Speak, Immortal One, And tell the tale once more in our time.

! Eickhoff, R. L. ! Johnston, Ian who wandered far and wide after ravaging the sacred citadel of Troy. He came to see many people’s cities, where he learned their customs, while on the sea his spirit suffered many torments, as he fought to save his life and lead his comrades home. But though he wanted to, he could not rescue them— they all died from their own stupidity, the fools. They feasted on the cattle of Hyperion, god of the sun—that’s why he snatched away their chance of getting home someday. So now, daughter of Zeus, tell us his story, starting anywhere you wish. ! Merrill, Rodney many a sea-mile after he ransacked Troy’s holy city. Many the men whose towns he observed, whose minds he discovered, many the pains in his heart he suffered, traversing the seaway, fighting for his own life and a way back home for his comrades. Not even so did he save his companions, as much as he wished to, for by their own mad recklessness they were brought to destruction, childish fools–they decided to eat up the cows of the High Lord, Helios: he then took from the men their day of returning. Even for us, holy daughter of Zeus, start there to recound this. ! McCrorie, Edward after he sacked the holy city of Trojans: tell me all the men’s cities he saw and the men’s minds, how often he suffered heartfelt pain on the broad sea, striving for life and a way back home for his war friends. Yet he saved no friends, much as he longed to: they lost their lives through their own reckless abandon, fools who ate the cattle of Helios the Sun-God. Huperion seized the day they might have arrived home. Tell us, Goddess, daughter of Zeus, start in your own place. ! Armitage, Simon ! Stein, Charles of that man of many devices who wandered much once he'd sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. He saw the cities of many men and knew their minds, suffering many sorrows in order to win back his life-soul and the return of his companions. In the end he failed to save them, in spite of his longing to do so, for through their own heedlessness they perished. Fools--who ate the cows of Helios-Hyperion, and the day of their return was taken from them. Of these matters, goddess, daughter of Zeus, speak through us beginning wherever you will.
