THE ODYSSEY OF HOMER: DONE INTO ENGLISH

Excerpt from The Odyssey of Homer: Done Into English Verse To get him back to his homestead, sore yearning for his wife, Did the noble nymph Calypso, the Godhead's glory, hoard In the hollow rocky places 3 for she longed for him for lord, Yea and e'en when the circling seasons had brought the year to hand, Wherein the Gods had doomed it that he should reach his land, 20 E'en Ithaca his homestead, not even then was he, Though amidst his kin and his people, of heavy trouble free. Know now, that of all the God-folk there was none but pitied him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
