Ὀδυσσεὺς δὲ ἐβράδυνεν ἑκών, τὰ μὲν αἰσχυνόμενος, τὰ δʼ ὑποπτεύων τὰ πράγματα. καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐπὶ μνηστείαν ἐτράπησαν τῆς Πηνελόπης καὶ τῶν κτημάτων ἁρπαγὴν ἡ τῶν Κεφαλλήνων νεότης. καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐβοήθει τῶν φίλων τῶν Ὀδυσσέως οὐδὲ Νέστωρ οὕτως ἐγγύθεν. ἅπαντες γὰρ ἦσαν ταπεινοὶ καὶ φαύλως ἔπραττον οἱ τῆς στρατείας μετασχόντες. τοὐναντίον δὲ ἐχρῆν δεινοὺς ἅπασι φαίνεσθαι τοὺς νενικηκότας καὶ μηδένα αὐτοῖς ἐπιχειρεῖν.
