but he on the keel of his ship was cast forth by the wave on the shore, on the land of the Phaeacians, who are near of kin to the gods. These heartily showed him all honor, as if he were a god, and gave him many gifts, and were fain themselves to send him home unscathed.
τὸν δ' ἄρ' ἐπὶ τρόπιος νεὸς ἔκβαλε κῦμ' ἐπὶ χέρσου , Φαιήκων ἐς γαῖαν , οἳ ἀγχίθεοι γεγάασιν , οἳ δή μιν περὶ κῆρι θεὸν ὣς τιμήσαντο καί οἱ πολλὰ δόσαν πέμπειν τέ μιν ἤθελον αὐτοὶ οἴκαδ' ἀπήμαντον .
ὁ δέ ἄρα ἐπί τρόπις ναῦς ἐκβάλλω κῦμα ἐπί χέρσος , Φαίαξ εἰς γαῖα , ὅς ἀγχίθεος γίγνομαι , ὅς δή μιν περί κῆρ θεός ὡς τιμάω καί ἕ πολύς δίδωμι πέμπω τε μιν ἐθέλω αὐτός οἴκαδε ἀπήμαντος .
