BOOK 18

from The Odyssey of Homer in English · host Raja Babu

BOOK XVIII And now there arrived a public beggar, who used to go begging through the town of Ithaka, known to fame for his ravenous belly and appetite for eating and drinking. There was no real strength in him, nor any force, but his build was big to look at. 5 He had the name Arnaios, for thus the lady his mother called him from birth, but all the young men used to call him Iros, because he would run and give messages when anyone told him.
