Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey. Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
A storm against the ships, and driving veils of squall
moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust;
sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards,
unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore.
