Ino, daughter of Cadmus, was raised from mortal to marine goddess and compassionately rises from the waves to aid distressed Ulysses.
“Ino daughter of Cadmus, also called Leucothea, saw him. She had formerly been a mere mortal, but had been since raised to the rank of a marine goddess. Seeing in what great distress Ulysses now was, she had compassion upon him, and, rising like a sea-gull from the waves, took her seat upon the raft”
Ino advises Ulysses to abandon the raft and swim, gives him her enchanted veil, then dives like a sea-gull beneath the dark blue water.
“strip, leave your raft to drive before the wind, and swim to the Phaeacian coast where better luck awaits you. And here, take my veil and put it round your chest; it is enchanted, and you can come to no harm so long as you wear it. As soon as you touch land take it off, throw it back as far as you can into the sea, and then go away again.’ With these words she took off her veil and gave it him. Then she dived down again like a sea-gull and vanished beneath the dark blue waters”
Ino receives her returned scarf from the wave.
“Ino received it into her hands from the wave that bore it”
