(replied the power who forms The clouds of night, and darkens heaven with storms;) Is not already in thy soul decreed, The chief’s return shall make the guilty bleed? What cannot Wisdom do? Thou may’st restore The son in safety to his native shore; While the fell foes, who late in ambush lay, With fraud defeated measure back their way.” Synopsis Following the destruction of Troy, the Greek hero Odysseus (or Ulysses, as he was known in Roman mythology) embarks on a long trip home to Ithaca.
