Note 55
BOOK VI

[ Then the Ogygian island was not so far off, but that Nausicaa might be assumed to know where it was.]

ITS PLACE IN THE BOOK

The winds and waves have taken me all the way from the Ogygian island,[55] and now fate has flung me upon this coast that I may endure still further suffering; for I do not think that I have yet come to the end of it, but rather that heaven has still much evil in store for me.
