Passage preview

Book 24 · Passage 26

Thus did they converse; but the others, when they had finished their work and the feast was ready, left off working, and took each his proper place on the benches and seats. Then they began eating; by and by old Dolius and his sons left their work and came up, for their mother, the Sicel woman who looked after Laertes now that he was growing old, had been to fetch them. When they saw Ulysses and were certain it was he, they stood there lost in astonishment; but Ulysses scolded them good naturedly and said, ‘Sit down to your dinner, old man, and never mind about your surprise; we have been wanting to begin for some time and have been waiting for you.’
