The Grimmest Oath
Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy.The opening line of Homer's ancient poem, The Odyssey, sets the scene for our adventures. The Trojan war is won -- at least in so far as the city of Troy has been sacked, its people fled or put to the sword, its royal families murdered or raped or escaped across the sea to found new dynasties.
Even the Greeks, the victors, are sick to their hearts at the carnage and the death of ten long years, seeking only to return to their homes across the wine dark sea. As the various leaders, kings and princes in their home lands, gather their men and set sail, one among them, Odysseus, clever and bold, fails to make a sacrifice to Poseidon, god of the sea. For this impudence, the jealous god sent errant winds and wild currents, fogs and rain storms to delay his journey.
But other gods looked with more favor on the King of Ithaca. Fair Athena smiled down upon him, and sensing the perils that he and his crew would soon face at the instigation of her capricious uncle, she sent among them a nymph, in disguise as priestess of her own cult to offer aid and advice in times or turmoil.
