To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Prolong still the life of our aged host, and add to Nestor with each circling year new honors and greater wealth. To the folk of Pylos give rich contentment and that peace which is the befitting prize of those who are mindful of life's varied duties. And lastly, grant that this young man may find that which he seeks, and then return rejoicing to his home and friends." When he had thus spoken, he gave the goblet to Odysseus, and he in like manner poured out libations, and prayed to great Poseido...n.
Then said Nestor as he took again the goblet, " Strangers, you do wisely thus to offer prayers to the gods; for they are far above us in virtue, strength, and honor. When men have failed to do aright, and have broken Heaven's just laws, they may still, by humble vows and supplications, turn aside from evil- doing, and soften the wrath of the ever-living powers." " Yes, truly," answered Phemius, " by prayers we do honor both ourselves and those to whom we pray.
There is an ancient saying, which no doubt you oft have heard, that prayers are the feeble-sighted daughters of The Sea Robbers of Messene.
