	φυγὼν ὀδυσσεὺς τὸν μαχησμὸν ἰλίου
	πλῆθος κικόνων· λωτοφάγων τοὺς δόλους
	κύκλωπος δεινὸν ὄμμα τοῦ βροτοκτόνου·
	τὴν λαιστρυγόνων ὠμότητα καὶ κίρκης
	τρόπους ἀδήλους καὶ μηχανευμένους
	ἅδου τὸ φρικτὸν· καὶ τῶν σειρήνων φθόγγον·
	πέτρας τε πλαγκτὰς καὶ χαρύβδεων στόμα·
	σκύλης τὸ δεινὸν καὶ βίαιον ὡς ἔφη·
	υἱοῦ χεροῖν· τέθνηκεν ἐν τῆ πατρίδι·
