  • "Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists
    and turnsdriven time and again off course, once
    he had plunderedthe 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 -
  • 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 - sing for our
    time too."
