The Odyssey by Homer
opening lines (Book 1)
Tell me about a complicated man.
Muse, tell me how he wandered and was
lost when he had wrecked the holy town
of Troy, and where he went,
and who he met,
the pain he suffered on the sea,
and how he worked to save his life
and bring his men back home.
He failed, and for their own mistakes,
they died. They ate the Sun God's cattle,
and the _god kept them from home.
Now goddess, Child of Zeus,
tell the old story for our modern times.
Find the beginning!
