1 On this they rose and went to the water side.
2 They all held their peace until Amphinomus rose to speak.
3 As he rose on the swell he looked eagerly ahead, and could see land quite near.
4 When the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn appeared, Menelaus rose and dressed himself.
5 Now when the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn, appeared Telemachus rose and dressed himself.
6 They then met angrily in the place of assembly, and when they were got together Eupeithes rose to speak.
7 Telemachus took this speech as of good omen and rose at once, for he was bursting with what he had to say.
8 Then he would begin trying to push it up hill again, and the sweat ran off him and the steam rose after him.
9 Then the other maids in the house rose and lit the fire on the hearth; Telemachus also rose and put on his clothes.
10 Thus did he speak, and his words pleased them well, so they rose forthwith and went to the house of Ulysses, where they took their accustomed seats.
11 The doors were gold, and hung on pillars of silver that rose from a floor of bronze, while the lintel was silver and the hook of the door was of gold.
12 Then it vanished through the thong-hole of the door and was dissipated into thin air; but Penelope rose from her sleep refreshed and comforted, so vivid had been her dream.
13 Now when the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn, appeared, Alcinous and Ulysses both rose, and Alcinous led the way to the Phaeacian place of assembly, which was near the ships.
14 Pontonous mixed the wine and handed it to every one in turn; the others each from his own seat made a drink-offering to the blessed gods that live in heaven, but Ulysses rose and placed the double cup in the hands of queen Arete.
15 On this, Ulysses rose from his comfortable bed and said to Penelope, "Wife, we have both of us had our full share of troubles, you, here, in lamenting my absence, and I in being prevented from getting home though I was longing all the time to do so."
