These were his words. With gusto, eagerly,

Odysseus ate the meat and drank the wine

in silence while, maneuvering, his mind

was sowing seeds of sorrow for the suitors.

But once the visitor had been refreshed,

filled his usual wine bowl

brimful and handed it to his dear guest.

Odysseus took it, happy to accept;

then to his host he spoke with these winged words:

“Who was the man who bought you with his wealth,

the rich and mighty man of whom you spoke?

Say more, for I may know of such a man.

Zeus and the other deathless gods know well

if I indeed have seen him and can tell

some news to you; I’ve wandered wide and far.”
