Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Odyssey When the great city of Troy had been taken, all the Chiefs who had fought against it set sail for their homes. But there was wrath in heaven against them, so that they did not find a safe and happy return. For one was shipwrecked, and another was shamefully slain by his false wife in his palace, and others found all things at home troubled and Changed, and were driven to seek new dwellings else where; and some were driven far and wide about the world before they saw their native land again. Of all, the wise Ulysses was he that wandered farthest and suffered most, for when ten years had well-nigh passed, he was still far away from Ithaca, his kingdom. The gods were gathered in council in the hall of Olympus, all but Poseidon, for he had gone to feast with the Ethiopians. Now Poseidon was he who most hated Ulysses, and kept him from his home.

Late on a certain day Ulysses came with his ships to an island, and found in it a beautiful harbour, with a stream falling into it, and a flat beach on which to draw up the ships. That night he and his men slept by the ships, and the next day they made a great feast. The island was full of wild goats. These the men hunted and killed, using their spears and bows. They had been on shipboard for many days, and had had but little food. Now they had plenty, eight goats to every ship, and nine for the ship of Ulysses, because he was the chief. So they ate till they were satisfied, and drank wine which they had carried away from Ismarus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Homer written by William Lucas Collins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homer: The Odyssey The poem of the Odyssey is treated in these pages as the work of a single author, and that author the same as the composer of the Iliad. It would be manifestly out of place, in a volume which does not profess to be written for critical scholars, to discuss a question on which they are so far from being agreed. But it may be satisfactory to assure the reader Who has neither leisure nor inclination to enter into the controversy, that in accepting, as we do, the Odyssey as from the same Homer to whom we owe the Tale of Troy, he may fortify himself by the authority of many aecom plished scholars who have carefully examined the ques tion. Though none of the incidents related in the Iliad are distinctly referred to in the Odyssey - a point strongly urged by those who would assign the poems to different authors - and therefore the one cannot fairly be regarded as a sequel to the other, yet there is no important discrepancy, either in the facts previously assumed, or in the treatment Of such characters as appear upon the scene in both; A. 0.
