Book V · Adrift on the Sea · Scene 3 of 4
Poseidon curses Odysseus, drives to Aegae
35“Go thus, and laden with mischances roam
The waters till you come among the race
Cherished by Zeus, but well I deem
You will not find your share of suffering light.”
36Thus having said he urged his coursers on,
With their fair-flowing manes, until he came
To Aegae, where his glorious palace stands.
