Current Search - Troy in The Odyssey
1 Tell me, O Muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy.
2 I seek news of my unhappy father Ulysses, who is said to have sacked the town of Troy in company with yourself.
3 Make up your mind to it and bear it; Ulysses is not the only man who never came back from Troy, but many another went down as well as he.
4 Phemius was still singing, and his hearers sat rapt in silence as he told the sad tale of the return from Troy, and the ills Minerva had laid upon the Achaeans.
5 Let the suitors do so of their own accord; it will be better for them, for I am not prophesying without due knowledge; everything has happened to Ulysses as I foretold when the Argives set out for Troy, and he with them.
6 We know what fate befell each one of the other heroes who fought at Troy, but as regards Ulysses heaven has hidden from us the knowledge even that he is dead at all, for no one can certify us in what place he perished, nor say whether he fell in battle on the mainland, or was lost at sea amid the waves of Amphitrite.
