The Greeks from Troy were all returned home,
All that the war and winds had spar’d, except
15 
The discontent Ulysses only; whom
In hollow caves the nymph Calypso kept.

Now all the rest, as many as had escaped sheer destruction,
were at home, safe from both war and sea,
but Odysseus alone, filled with longing for his return and for his wife,
did the queenly nymph Calypso, that bright goddess,
[15] keep back in her hollow caves, yearning that he should be her husband.
