'Listen to me, my comrades, brothers in hardship, let me tell you the dire prophecies of Tiresias and Aeaean Circe too: time and again they tole me to shun this island of the sun, the joy of man. Here, they warned, the worst disaster awaits us. Row straight past these shores-race our black ship on!'
