For not yet has brilliant Odysseus perished on the earth, but still, I believe, he lives and is held back on the broad sea in a sea-girt isle, and cruel men keep him, a savage people, that constrain him, by chance sore against his will.
οὐ γάρ πω τέθνηκεν ἐπὶ χθονὶ δῖος Ὀδυσσεύς , ἀλλ' ἔτι που ζωὸς κατερύκεται εὐρέι πόντῳ νήσῳ ἐν ἀμφιρύτῃ , χαλεποὶ δέ μιν ἄνδρες ἔχουσιν ἄγριοι , οἵ που κεῖνον ἐρυκανόωσ' ἀέκοντα . [0]
οὐ γάρ πω θνήσκω ἐπί χθών δῖος Ὀδυσσεύς , ἀλλά ἔτι πού ζωός κατερύκω εὐρύς πόντος νῆσος ἐν ἀμφίρυτος , χαλεπός δέ μιν ἀνήρ ἔχω ἄγριος , ὅς πού ἐκεῖνος ἐρυκανάω ἀέκων .
