“Tell me, O Muse, of that Great Traveller Who wandered far and wide when he had sacked The sacred town of Troy. Of many men He saw the cities and he learned the mind; Ay, and at heart he suffered many woes Upon the sea, intent to save his life And bring his comrades home. Yet even so His men he could not save for all his efforts, For through their own blind wilfulness they perished; The fools! who at up Hyperion's kine; And he bereft them of their homing day. Touching these things, beginning where thou wilt, Tell even us, O goddess, child of Zeus.”

“The gifts Athene gave her beyond women— Skill in fair handiwork, and clever wit And craft—whereof we never heard the like, Not even in fair-haired Achaean women, Lost ladies of old years, Alcmene, Tyro, Or comely-crowned Mycene; none of these Was like Penelope in shrewdness.”

“... I, as I lay dying Upon the sword, raised up my hands to smite her; And shamelessly she turned away, and scorned To draw my eye-lids down or close my mouth, Though I was on the road to Hades' house.”
