	Πρὸς τὴν Καλυψὼ Ζεὺς Ὀδυσσέως χάριν
	πέμπει τὸν Ἑρμῆν Ἀθηνᾶς πεισθεὶς λόγῳ·
	αὐτὴ δὲ θᾶττον εἰς Ἰθακην εὐθέως
	ἥκει παραινέσουσα τῷ Τηλεμάχῳ
	ὡς πρὸς πατρὸς ζήτησιν ἐλθεῖν σπουδάσοι,
	ἀρχῷ παρεικασθεῖσα Ταφίων Μέντῃ.
	ἐπιξενωθεῖσα δὲ τῷ Τηλεμάχῳ,
	Σπάρτην διελθεῖν καὶ Πύλον τούτῳ λέγει,
	ὡς πατρικὴν ἄφιξιν ἐκ τούτου μάθοι.
	αὐτῆς δ᾽ ἐκεῖθεν ἐκδραμούσης αὐτίκα
	Τηλέμαχος πρόσεισι μνηστήρων ὄχλον
	καὶ πάντας ἄρδην θρασυκωτέροις λόγοις
	εἰς ἀγορὰν αὔριον ἡκέναι λέγει.
