ODYSSEY NOUN

ody.10

"The men when they got on shore followed a level road by which the people draw their firewood from the mountains into the town, till presently they met a young Woman who had come outside to fetch water, and who was daughter to a Laestrygonian named Antiphates. She was going to the fountain Artacia from which the people bring in their water, and when my men had come close up to her, they asked her who the king of that country might be, and over what kind of people he ruled; so she directed them to her father s house, but when they got there they found his wife to be a giantess as huge as a mountain, and they were horrified at the sight of her.

Arise Greece! from thy silent sleep, 2000 years long it is! Forget not, thy ancient culture, beautiful and marvelous it is!
