Οὐ γὰρ ἀνασχετὸν εἶναι οὔτε τῷ Ἀχιλλεῖ τὴν σχολήν, οὔτε τῷ Νέστορι τὴν σιωπήν, οὔτε τῷ Ὀδυσσεῖ τὴν ἀσφάλειαν. Ἐξῆν γάρ που καὶ τῷ Ἀχιλλεῖ ζῆν καὶ βασιλεύειν Μυρμιδόνων, καὶ γεωργεῖν τὴν Θετταλῶν γῆν, καὶ γηροκομεῖν τὸν Πηλέα· καὶ τῷ ἔέστορι ἐν Πύλῳ ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἄρχειν, καὶ γηράσκειν καθʼ ἡσυχίαν· καὶ τῷ Ὀδυσσεῖ, οἴκοι μένειν περὶ τὸ Νήριτον τὸ εὔφυλλον, (cf.ι 27) ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ κουροτρόφφ, ἢ τὸ τελευταῖον παρὰ Καλυψὼ βιοῦν ἐν ἄντρῳ καταρρύτῳ καὶ κατασκίῳ, ὑπὸ Νυμφῶν θεραπευομένῳ, ἀγήρφ ῳ ὄντι καὶ ἀθανάτῳ· ἀλλʼ οὐχ εἵλετο ἀθάνατος εἶναι ἀργὸς ὢν καὶ μηδὲν χρώμενος τῇ ἀρετῇ.
