In which Telemachus, guided by the goddess Minerva’s counsel, arrives at Pylos during a grand sacrifice to Neptune, and with reverence he seeks news of his father from the wise and venerable Nestor. The night is spent in honourable hospitality, prayers, and solemn sacrifice, followed by a swift chariot journey toward Lacedaemon under the protection of Nestor’s sons.

The Odyssey Book III

Sing, O Muse, of the word that endures beyond bronze and flame. Here in The Homer Library, the ancient song rises anew, of swift-footed heroes and wine-dark seas, of towering walls and the wrath that shatters kings. Hear the clash of spear on shield, the lament of queens, the cunning of wanderers longing for hearth and homeland. As once the blind bard lifted his lyre among listening halls, so now the tale is carried upon living breath - faithful, unbroken, and whole. Each episode unfolds the sacred verses in their fullness, that glory may not fade and memory may not perish. Come, then. Sit among warriors and wanderers. And let the story be sung again.
