Become her husband. Even when the years
Brought round the time in which the gods decreed
That he should reach again his dwelling-place
In Ithaca, though he was with his friends, 25
His toils were not yet ended. Of the gods
All pitied him save Neptune, who pursued
With wrath implacable the godlike chief,
Ulysses, even to his native land.
Among the Ethiopians was the god 30
Far off, — the Ethiopians most remote
Of men. Two tribes there are ; one dwells beneath
The rising, one beneath the setting sun.
He went to grace a hecatomb of beeves
And lambs, and sat delighted at the feast ; ss
While in the palace of Olympian Jove
The other gods assembled, and to them
The father of immortals and of men
Was speaking. To his mind arose the thought
Of that ^gisthus whom the famous son a.o
Of Agamemnon, Prince Orestes, slew.
Of him he thought and thus bespake the gods : —
" How strange it is that mortals blame the gods
And say that we inflict the ills they bear,
When they, by their own folly and against 43
The will of fate, bring sorrow on themselves !
As late yEgisthus, unconstrained by fate.

He knew the bitter penalty, for we 5°
Warned him. We sent the herald Argicide,
Bidding him neither slay the chief nor woo
His queen, for that Orestes, when he came
To manhood and might claim his heritage.
Would take due vengeance for Atrides slain. 55
So Hermes said ; his prudent words moved not
T'he purpose of ^^gisthus, who now pays
The forfeit of his many crimes at once."
Pallas, the blue-eyed goddess, thus replied : —
" O father, son of Saturn, king of kings ! ^
Well he deserved his death. So perish all
Guilty of deeds like his ! But I am grieved
For sage Ulysses, that most wretched man.
So long detained, repining, and afar
From those he loves, upon a distant isle 63
Girt by the waters of the central deep, —
A forest isle, where dwells a deity
The daughter of wise Atlas, him who knows
The ocean to its utmost depths, and holds
Upright the lofty columns which divide 73
The earth from heaven. The daughter there detains
The unhappy chieftain, and with flattering words
Would win him to forget his Ithaca.
Meanwhile, impatient to behold the smokes
That rise from hearths in his own land, he pines 75
And willingly would die. Is not thy heart,
Olympius, touched by this ? And did he not
