In this invocation from The Odyssey, the poet (Homer) asks a goddess for inspiration. He describes Odysseus’ character and gives a brief summary of his wanderings. Paraphrase the text by “translating” each line into modern-day English. The first two lines are done for you. Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story
Use me, Muse, to tell the story
of that man skilled in all ways of contending,
Of the skilled fighter
the wanderer, harried for years on end,
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
after he plundered the stronghold on the proud height of Troy.
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
He saw the townlands
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
and learned the minds of many distant men,
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
and weathered many bitter nights and days
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
in his deep heart at sea, while he fought only
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
to save his life, to bring his shipmates home.
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
But not by will nor valor could he save them,
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
for their own recklessness destroyed them all—
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
children and fools, they killed and feasted on
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
the cattle of Lord Helios, the Sun,
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
and he who moves all day through heaven
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
took from their eyes the dawn of their return.
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
Of these adventures, Muse, daughter of Zeus,
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
tell us in our time, lift the great song again. . . .
(type your “translation” of the above line here)
