“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you

trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised

let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your
Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For

What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war

quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly,
to spend it on your passions. You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is
enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of
God. Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit

Matapos ang pagbagsak ng reyna ng lungsod ng Troy, ang matagumpay na mga Greeks ay
naglayag para sa hoe na pinangungunahan ng matalino, malakas at matapang na Odysseus,
Hari ng Ithaca.

Mula sa Ilium, kung minsan ay tinawag na Troy, ang mga hangin ay dinala kay Odysseus, ang
kanyang labindalawang barko at ang kanilang mga crew, kay Ismarus. Doon, bilang isang
mandirigma ng oras na iyon, naisip niya na tama lamang na isagaw ang bayan at patayin ang
mga tao. Ang mga babae at baka at kalakal ay iniligtas niya at hinati sa kanyang mga tao.
Pagkatapos ay binabalaan ng matatalino Odyssues ang kanyang mga kalalakihan upang kunin
ang kanilang mga takong at maging off. Ngunit sila, sa kanilang kamangmangan, ay hindi
sumunod. Sila ay naglakad sa tabi ng dagat, sa gitna ng malalaking apoy, nagpapakabusog at
umiinom ng alak, hanggang sa bumaba ang mga kalalakihan mula sa kalapit na mga bayan. At
sa mahusay na labanan na sinundan, maraming mga tao mula sa bawat barko ay pinatay.
The war and his troubles at sea keep Odysseus away from his home, Ithaca, for twenty years. In his
absence, his son, Telemachus, has grown into a man, and his wife, Penelope, is besieged by suitors who
assume Odysseus is dead. Penelope remains faithful to Odysseus, but the suitors feast at her house all
day and live off her supplies. She holds them off by promising to marry after she finishes weaving a
shroud for Laertes, Odysseus’s father. Every night she secretly undoes the day’s work, leaving the job
perpetually unfinished. One day, near the end of Odysseus’s voyage, the suitors discover Penelope’s
ruse and become more dangerously insistent.

Athena’s anger subsides and her old affection for Odysseus renews, so she decides to set things right.
While Poseidon, still angry with Odysseus, is away from Olympus, she convinces the other gods to help
Odysseus return home. In disguise in Ithaca, she convinces Telemachus to search for his father.
Telemachus goes to Pylos, the home of Nestor, who sends him to Menelaus in Sparta. Menelaus says he
has captured Proteus, the shape-shifting sea god, who says Odysseus is being held prisoner of love by
the sea nymph Calypso.

At that moment, Hermes is visiting Calypso and relaying Zeus’s command that Odysseus be allowed
home. Odysseus sets sail on a makeshift raft and is in sight of land when Poseidon catches sight of him,
unleashing a storm that again wrecks the homesick Greek. The kind goddess Ino sweeps down and gives
him her veil, protecting him from harm in the water. After two days of swimming, Odysseus reaches the
land of the Phaeacians and their kind king, Alcinoüs. The king’s daughter, Nausicaä, finds Odysseus,
naked and filthy from sleeping on the ground, and leads him to the king. Received warmly, Odysseus
tells the story of his wanderings.

He and his crew first encountered the Lotus-Eaters, who eat the narcotic lotus flower and live in
stupefied bliss. A few men try the drug and do not want to leave, but Odysseus drags them back to the
ship. They sail on and dock in front of an inviting cave, where they search for food. There is wine, food,
and pens full of sheep in the cave, but the cave’s owner, the giant Cyclops Polyphemus, returns. He seals
the entrance with a giant boulder, spots the intruders, and eats two of Odysseus’s men. He keeps the
others trapped in the cave and eats two more at each meal. Odysseus plans an escape, giving
Polyphemus wine until he passes out drunk. The men then take a giant red-hot sharpened stake they
have made and poke out the monster’s only eye. Blinded, Polyphemus cannot find the men and finally
rolls back the boulder blocking the entrance and puts his arms in front of it, figuring he will catch the
men as they try to run outside. Odysseus has already thought of this, so the Greeks go to the pens and
each tie three rams together. The next day the Greeks hang onto the undersides of the sheep as they go
out to pasture. As they pass the entrance, Polyphemus feels only the sheep’s backs to make sure there
are no Greeks riding them, enabling them to escape.

Next, Aeolus, the keeper of the Winds, gives Odysseus a priceless gift, a leather sack that holds all the
storm winds. Odysseus can sail home safely as long as he keeps the bag closed, but his inquisitive crew
opens the bag, unleashing a fierce storm that blows them to the land of the Laestrygons, cannibals who
destroy every ship in the fleet except one. At their next stop, several men scout ahead and encounter
the sorceress Circe, who turns them all into pigs except one man lucky enough to escape. Warned,
Odysseus sets out for Circe’s house armed with an herb Hermes has given him. When Circe cannot affect
him with her magic, she falls in love with him. She returns his crew to human form and they live in luxury
at her house for a year. She then uses her magic to tell them how to get home: they must travel to
Hades and speak to the dead prophet Teiresias. In the world of the dead, Odysseus and his men lure
Teiresias’s spirit with blood—a favorite drink of the dead—and ask his help. He says that Odysseus will
eventually reach home. He advises them not to harm the oxen belonging to the Sun, as terrible things
would happen. Before departing Hades, the Greeks talk with some of their old war comrades, including
Achilles and Ajax.

Circe has also given them another piece of information—that they must not listen to the Sirens, women
who lure men to death with singing that makes them forget everything. Passing the island of the Sirens,
the crew plugs their ears with wax, but the insatiably curiousOdysseus requests to be tied to the mast
with his ears left open. The ship then passes between Scylla and Charybdis, the dreaded rock-and-
whirlpool duo that destroys many ships. They finally arrive at the island of the Sun, where the famished
men recklessly slaughter and eat one of the oxen while Odysseus is away. The Sun destroys their ship,
drowning everyone but Odysseus. He is carried to the island of Calypso, where he is held for many years.

After hearing this long account, the kind Phaeacians have pity on Odysseus and quickly prepare a ship to
take him home. He falls asleep on board and awakens on a beach in Ithaca. Athena comes to him, tells
him he is home, and begins to craft a way for him to reclaim his wife and home with a surprise entrance.
She transforms him into an old beggar and sends him to stay with Eumaeus, his faithful swineherd.
Athena then goes to Telemachus and tells him to return home but to stop by the swineherd’s shack on
the way. There, Athena transforms Odysseus back to his normal form. The father and son are reunited
and come up with a plan to get rid of the suitors. Odysseus again disguises himself as a beggar and goes
to his palace. Only Argos, his old dog, recognizes him. Argos dies when Odysseus, trying to preserve his
disguise, ignores the dog.

Inside, the boorish suitors mock the beggar and one even hits him. Offended by this breach of
hospitality, Penelope orders the old nurse of the house, Eurycleia, to attend to the stranger. As the old
woman washes him, she notices a scar on his foot. As she has served the house for many years, she
recognizes the scar and the beggar as Odysseus. He makes her promise not to tell a soul, even his wife.
The next day, Penelope decides to hold a contest: whoever can string Odysseus’s gigantic bow and shoot
an arrow through twelve rings can marry her. All the suitors try and fail, but then the beggar stands up
and asks for a try. The suitors scoff, but the beggar quickly and easily strings the massive bow and shoots
an arrow with dead aim. He then turns and begins shooting the suitors. Taken off guard, they reach for
their weapons, but Telemachus has hidden them all. They try to run away, but Telemachus and
Eumaeus, to whom Odysseus revealed himself earlier that morning, have locked all the doors. Soon all
the suitors, even a priest, have been killed—only a bard is spared, as Odysseus remembers how much
the gods favor song and poetry. Odysseus finally reveals himself to Penelope, and after twenty years of
separation, they live happily ever after.
