In English
Our hero was at sea, traveling for eighteen days. He could see on the
horizon the island of the Phaeacians (των Φαιάκων). Suddenly though, god Poseidon
spotted him in the sea. Poseidon was not in the meeting with the gods and he was
upset with Odysseus. He created a terrible storm. The raft broke into pieces. Odysseus was
fighting the waves. Goddess Lefkothea (Λευκοθέα) saw him and felt sorry for him. She
told him to take off his clothes and gave him a magic scarf to protect him from
danger.
