Homework: Dear parents/ guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework. 

Option 3: Collections:  New Coasts and Poseidon’s Son

My home is on the peaked sea-mark of Ithaca

under Mount Neion's wind-blown robe of leaves,

in sight of other islands  Dulichium,

Same, wooded Zacynthus  Ithaca

being most lofty in that coastal sea,

and northwest, while the rest lie east and south.

A rocky isle, but good for a boy's training;

I shall not see on earth a place more dear,

though I have been detained long by Calypso,

loveliest among goddesses, who held me

in her smooth caves, to be her heart's delight,

as Circe of Aeaea, the enchantress,

desired me, and detained me in her hall.

But in my heart I never gave consent.

Where shall a man find sweetness to surpass

his own home and his parents?

In far lands
