The king provides you with a
ship to take you home, and asks you to watch the
Phaeacian Games before you leave. At the contest
you are invited to challenge any of the winners,
but you are thinking only of Ithaca and your lost
shipmates, and politely refuse. Euryalus, the
champion discus thrower, accuses you of being too
scared to take part – he thinks you are a
mere trader, pretending to be someone important.
