ἀλλʼ ὅτε δὴ τὴν νῆσον ἀφικόμεθʼ , ἔνθα περ ἄλλαι
νῆες ἐύσσελμοι μένον ἁθρόαι , ἀμφὶ δʼ ἑταῖροι
ἥατʼ ὀδυρόμενοι , ἡμέας ποτιδέγμενοι αἰεί ,
νῆα μὲν ἔνθʼ ἐλθόντες ἐκέλσαμεν ἐν ψαμάθοισιν ,
ἐκ δὲ καὶ αὐτοὶ βῆμεν ἐπὶ ῥηγμῖνι θαλάσσης .
μῆλα δὲ Κύκλωπος γλαφυρῆς ἐκ νηὸς ἑλόντες
δασσάμεθʼ , ὡς μή τίς μοι ἀτεμβόμενος κίοι ἴσης .
ἀρνειὸν δʼ ἐμοὶ οἴῳ ἐυκνήμιδες ἑταῖροι
μήλων δαιομένων δόσαν ἔξοχα · τὸν δʼ ἐπὶ θινὶ
Ζηνὶ κελαινεφέι Κρονίδῃ , ὃς πᾶσιν ἀνάσσει ,
ῥέξας μηρίʼ ἔκαιον · ὁ δʼ οὐκ ἐμπάζετο ἱρῶν ,
ἀλλʼ ὅ γε μερμήριξεν ὅπως ἀπολοίατο πᾶσαι
νῆες ἐύσσελμοι καὶ ἐμοὶ ἐρίηρες ἑταῖροι .
ὣς τότε μὲν πρόπαν ἦμαρ ἐς ἠέλιον καταδύντα
ἥμεθα δαινύμενοι κρέα τʼ ἄσπετα καὶ μέθυ ἡδύ ·
ἦμος δʼ ἠέλιος κατέδυ καὶ ἐπὶ κνέφας ἦλθε ,
δὴ τότε κοιμήθημεν ἐπὶ ῥηγμῖνι θαλάσσης .
ἦμος δʼ ἠριγένεια φάνη ῥοδοδάκτυλος Ἠώς ,
δὴ τότʼ ἐγὼν ἑτάροισιν ἐποτρύνας ἐκέλευσα
αὐτούς τʼ ἀμβαίνειν ἀνά τε πρυμνήσια λῦσαι ·
οἱ δʼ αἶψʼ εἴσβαινον καὶ ἐπὶ κληῖσι καθῖζον ,
ἑξῆς δʼ ἑζόμενοι πολιὴν ἅλα τύπτον ἐρετμοῖς .
ἔνθεν δὲ προτέρω πλέομεν ἀκαχήμενοι ἦτορ ,
ἄσμενοι ἐκ θανάτοιο , φίλους ὀλέσαντες ἑταίρους .

When
at
last
we
got
to
the
island
where
we
had
left
the
rest
of
our
ships
,
we
found
our
comrades
lamenting
us
,
and
anxiously
awaiting
our
return
.
We
ran
our
vessel
upon
the
sands
and
got
out
of
her
on
to
the
sea
shore
;
we
also
landed
the
Cyclops
'
sheep
,
and
divided
them
equitably
amongst
us
so
that
none
might
have
reason
to
complain
.
As
for
the
ram
,
my
companions
agreed
that
I
should
have
it
as
an
extra
share
;
so
I
sacrificed
it
on
the
sea
shore
,
and
burned
its
thigh
bones
to
Jove
,
who
is
the
lord
of
all
.
But
he
heeded
not
my
sacrifice
,
and
only
thought
how
he
might
destroy
my
ships
and
my
comrades
.
" Thus through the livelong day to the going down of the sun we feasted our fill on meat and drink , but when the sun went down and it came on dark , we camped upon the beach . When the child of morning , rosy-fingered Dawn , appeared , I bade my men on board and loose the hawsers . Then they took their places and smote the grey sea with their oars ; so we sailed on with sorrow in our hearts , but glad to have escaped death though we had lost our comrades .
