Athene cloaks Odysseus in a concealing mist
His entry to the palace now nobody can resist
Once inside the mist dissolves and he can now be seen
“Help me get back to my home” he humbly begs the queen
To help him on this journey King Alcinous agrees.
“How did you get those clothes, though, on your travels on the seas?”
Queen Arete asks him, so Odysseus is made
to tell of his adventures, how Nausicaa gave him aid
King Alcinous invites Odysseus to stay –
indeed, to wed his daughter – but he’d rather sail away.
