And when, as I went through the island, I had got away from my comrades, I washed my hands in a place where there was shelter from the wind, and prayed to all the gods that hold Olympus;
ἀλλ' ὅτε δὴ διὰ νήσου ἰὼν ἤλυξα ἑταίρους , χεῖρας νιψάμενος , ὅθ' ἐπὶ σκέπας ἦν ἀνέμοιο , ἠρώμην πάντεσσι θεοῖς οἳ Ὄλυμπον ἔχουσιν ·
ἀλλά ὅτε δή διά νῆσος εἶμι ἀλύσκω ἑταῖρος , χείρ νίζω , ὅθι ἐπί σκέπας εἰμί ἄνεμος , ἀράομαι πᾶς θεός ὅς Ὄλυμπος ἔχω ·
