Od. 5, 130–136
τὸν μὲν ἐγὼν ἐσάωσα περὶ τρόπιος βεβαῶτα
οἶον, ἐπεί οἱ νῆα θοὴν ἀργῆτι κεραυνῷ
Ζεὺς ἔλσας ἐκέασσε μέσῳ ἐνὶ οἴνοπι πόντῳ.
ἔνθ’ ἄλλοι μὲν πάντες ἀπέφθιθεν ἐσθλοὶ ἑταῖροι,
τὸν δ’ ἄρα δεῦρ’ ἄνεμός τε φέρων καὶ κῦμα πέλασσε.
τὸν μὲν ἐγὼ φίλεόν τε καὶ ἔτρεφον ἠδὲ ἔφασκον
θήσειν ἀθάνατον καὶ ἀγήραον ἤματα πάντα.

Od. 5, 5
τοῖσι δ’ Ἀθηναίη λέγε κήδεα πόλλ’ Ὀδυσῆος

Od. 5, 13–15
ἀλλ’ ὁ μὲν ἐν νήσῳ κεῖται κρατέρ’ ἄλγεα πάσχων,
νύμφης ἐν μεγάροισι Καλυψοῦς, ἥ μιν ἀνάγκῃ
ἴσχει· ὁ δ’ οὐ δύναται ἣν πατρίδα γαῖαν ἱκέσθαι·

Od. 5, 215–224
πότνα θεά, μή μοι τόδε χώεο· οἶδα καὶ αὐτὸς
πάντα μάλ’, οὕνεκα σεῖο περίφρων Πηνελόπεια
εἶδος ἀκιδνοτέρη μέγεθός τ’ εἰσάντα ἰδέσθαι·
ἡ μὲν γὰρ βροτός ἐστι, σὺ δ’ ἀθάνατος καὶ ἀγήρως.
ἀλλὰ καὶ ὧς ἐθέλω καὶ ἐέλδομαι ἤματα πάντα
οἴκαδέ τ’ ἐλθέμεναι καὶ νόστιμον ἦμαρ ἰδέσθαι.
εἰ δ’ αὖ τις ῥαίῃσι θεῶν ἐνὶ οἴνοπι πόντῳ,
τλήσομαι ἐν στήθεσσιν ἔχων ταλαπενθέα θυμόν·
ἤδη γὰρ μάλα πολλὰ πάθον καὶ πολλὰ μόγησα
κύμασι καὶ πολέμῳ· μετὰ καὶ τόδε τοῖσι γενέσθω.

Od. 5, 225–227
ὣς ἔφατ’, ἠέλιος δ’ ἄρ’ ἔδυ καὶ ἐπὶ κνέφας ἦλθεν·
ἐλθόντες δ’ ἄρα τώ γε μυχῷ σπείους γλαφυροῖο
τερπέσθην φιλότητι, παρ’ ἀλλήλοισι μένοντες.

Od. 5, 13–15
ἀλλ’ ὁ μὲν ἐν νήσῳ κεῖται κρατέρ’ ἄλγεα πάσχων,
νύμφης ἐν μεγάροισι Καλυψοῦς, ἥ μιν ἀνάγκῃ
ἴσχει· ὁ δ’ οὐ δύναται ἣν πατρίδα γαῖαν ἱκέσθαι·

Od. 5, 295–296
σὺν δ’ εὖρός τε νότος τ’ ἔπεσον ζέφυρός τε δυσαὴς
καὶ βορέης αἰθρηγενέτης, μέγα κῦμα κυλίνδων.

Od. 5, 366–367
ὦρσε δ’ ἐπὶ μέγα κῦμα Ποσειδάων ἐνοσίχθων,
δεινόν τ’ ἀργαλέον τε, κατηρεφές, ἤλασε δ’ αὐτόν.

Him I saved when he was bestriding the keel and all alone,
for Zeus had struck his swift ship with his bright thunderbolt
and had shattered it in the midst of the wine-dark sea.
There all the rest of his noble comrades perished,
but as for him, the wind and the waves, as they bore him, brought him here.
Him I welcomed kindly and gave him food, and said
that I would make him immortal and ageless all his days.

To them Athene was recounting the many woes of Odysseus

… yet he lies in an island suffering grievous pains,
in the halls of the nymph Calypso, who keeps him perforce,
and he cannot return to his own land …

Mighty goddess, do not be angry with me for this.
I know very well myself that wise Penelope is
less impressive to look upon than you in looks and stature,
for she is a mortal, while you are immortal and ageless.
But even so I wish and long day in and day out
to reach my home, and to see the day of my return.
And if again some god shall smite me on the wine-dark sea,
I will endure it, having in my breast a heart that endures affliction.
For before now I have suffered much and toiled much
amid the waves and in war; let this trouble be added to those.

So he spoke, and the sun set and darkness came on.
And the two went into the innermost recess of the hollow cave,
and took their joy of love, remaining by each other.

… yet he lies in an island suffering grievous pains,
in the halls of the nymph Calypso, who keeps him perforce,
and he cannot return to his own land …

Together the East Wind and the South Wind dashed, and the fierce-blowing West Wind
and the North Wind, born in the bright heaven, rolling before him a great wave.

Poseidon, the earth-shaker, made to rise up a great wave,
dangerous and dismaying, arching over from above, and drove it upon him.
