Wv. $50 457-The daughter OF Chryses
restored to her father:
Meanwhile Ulysses arrived at Chrysa
with [lit. leadirg] sacred hecatomb.
And when at length they reached near the
and stored them away in the black ship.
Then, having quickly lowered the mast
by the forcstays, they put it in the mast
receiver, and rowed it Ii. e. the shipl
with oars to the anchoring place. Then
they cast out the "sleepers." and made
fast the hawsers, and also they them
selves disembarked upon the beach of the
sea[i e. sea beach, and they unloaded..the
hecatomb Ito be oferedl in honor of the
Far-shooting Apollo. Then Chryseis dis
embarked from the sea travelling ship.
| Then the wise Ulysses, leading her to
the altar, placed her in her dear father
arms, and said to him:
30 Chryses, Agamennon, king of
men, sent me forth to bring to thee thy
| child, and to offer to Phoebus q sacred
| hecatomb in behalf of the Danai, in or
der that we may conciiiate the king. who
now has sent woes causing many groans
| Ii. e. heavy woesl upon the Argives.'
Having thus spoken, he placed her in
his arms, and he. rejoicing, received his
dear child. Then they quickly arranged
in order around the welI-built altar, in
honor Of the god, the sacred hecatoub,
and after that they washed their hands
and took up the bruised and roasted bar
leycorn [see Lev. 2;13l.
Now Chryses, holding forth his hands,
prayed with lold voice for them;
Hear me, O bearer of the silver bow,
who continually goest, as a protector,
around Chrysa and rulest over Tenedos
with might. AS theu didst hear my form.
er prayer, and didst honor me, and didst
severely affiict the army of the Achaeans,
so now also fulfill this desire for me:
Forthwith turn pitiful ruin from tAe
Danai.'
Thus he spoke in prayer lit. prayingl,
and Phoebus Apollo heard him. And
then when they had prayed AID poured
forth Tupon them] the oulochytae i. e..
the buised barleycorn mixed with salt ,
they drew upward the heads [of the vic
timsl, cut their throats Ii. G. opened the
large artery of the neck and tlaved
them. Eheu they cut out the thighs and
covered them with fat, making it double
Ii. e. placing two layers OF fat upon the
thighs. This fat was usually taken from
the kidneys], and placed pieces OF raw
flesh upon them Ii. e. pieces from differ.
ent parts of the victimsl. Then the Ell
der burned the thigh pieces THUS pre-
pareil on cleft wood, and poured out, as
a libaton, sparkling wine, and the
young men by the priest himself Ii. @.
his attendants held the five tined fork S
in their hands. And when they had
thoroughly burned the thighs and had
eaten the entrails, they then both cut
into small pieces the rest and pierced
them from side to side witt, spits; and
when they carefully roasted them, they
drew all off from the spits]. Then when
! they had ceased from their labor and
prepared 70 cd, they feasted nor did their
appetite at all want for the food equally
shared Ii. e. of which each had fair
sharel. And when they had sent away
Ii. e. satisfied the desire for drink and
the brim With drink, they then, having
performed the dedicatory rites with the
cups, distributed to all, and all day long
ii. e. the remainder of the day. they,
the young men Of the Achaeans, were
appeasing the god with song, singing
beautiful paean(s), hymning the Far
darter; and he, hearing, was delighted
in his heart. And when the sun went
down and darkness came on, then they
laid themselves down to rest along the
stern hawsers of the ships. And when
rosy fingered Dawn, daughter OF the
Morning, appeared, then without delay
began they to put out for the broad camp
of the Achaeans; and the Far-dalter,
Apollo, sent a wind following them H. e.
a favorable wind). They set up for
themselves the mast and spread the
white sails; and the foaming sea roared
loudly on both sides of the keel as the
ship was running; and she (the sblp)
skipped from wave to wave accomplish
ing her way. Then, when they reached
opposite the wide camp OF the Achaeans,
they drew the sable ship up upon the
main land-high upon the sand, and un-
der they stretched long props, and they
themselves dispersed among the tents
and ships.
