And scattered over white barley flour.

And with boat would send him back to seductive Ithaca,

After they give him gold-silver and clothes

And rich palaces.

RAPSODOS

Hermes wore gold sandals

Got a magic spillikin that enchants the eyes of men,

And wake up sleeping and left quickly.

And poured out into the open sea

Flying like a seagull over the waves.

So Hermes traveled and arrived on the island

Outside the cave

That lived nymph Calypso.

HERMES-ERMIS

The air smells cedar-kachisto- thougia

Burning in fire.

Goddess singing melodies in the background of cave.

While she weaves on the loom the golden shuttle.

Around the cave spindly cypress-splinter

And poplars rustle air spelling infinity.

The birds, sea crows, owls, hawks

Perch on the tufted branches.

HERMES

Thank Goddess for a hearty meal

Once you asked me Ι answer.

Zeus-Jupiter sent me against my will

Who is pleasant to travel,

Listen to who is his decision.

A man tortured lives in the island,

The most miserable from those who fought at Troy.

Learn how Zeus commanded to let him free.

His fate is to see their own,

To return home-in the fatherly ground.

RAPSODOS

These said winged Hermes and left,

And the modest nymph went to meet Ulysses

To tell the order of Jupiter.

Found Carter Odysseus sitting in the coast

And inconsolable crying for the return home.

From need he slept at night with the goddess

In the hollow caverns despite his will,

Kalypso wanted him a lot.

CALYPSO

Do not cry another wearing out your soul.

I leave free with all my soul.

Come began to cut wood to pack the raft.

With a fair wind will travel to come back unharmed

And harmless to your island.

But if you know - what will happen

What is your fate until you reach Ithaca,

Better would you say remained with me

Why you'd be IMMORTAL.

But you prefer Penelope

Even I'm much better-more tall with nice body

More beautiful with divine grace.

It is not right that mortals to put the goddesses

To beauty.

Although Suitors besieged the queen

Very closely.

Why Telemachus is still a minor,

And my father-in-law Laertes retired to estates

Mourning the loss of his son.

That the country was leaderless

After he left the king.

Proposed a contest and whoever wins

Will become king of Ithaca.

what to do.

Alone I will decide the prize.

Choosing the test arc.

-Monologue-

Suitors will be swept

the trap of death.

FIMIOS -

AOIDOS -RAPSODOS OF PALACE OF ITHACA

Penelope told her dream to beggar

It was prophetic.

She saw in her sleepa flock geese - the Suitors-

Then came a wild eagle-her husband-

And killed birds.

Ah! how many cried the loss of birds.
