Is safe again in Ithaca: and in truth

Have I, Athena, though the wisest power

And mightiest in Olympus, striven long

In heaven and earth to save him from the wrath

Of great Poseidon; but at length my will

Nears its accomplishment, for on this isle

Of Ithaca was he at break of morn

Landed by good Phæacian mariners,

Who ply the convoys of the dangerous sea;

Even as they promised him, their king and queen,
