Odysseus and Nausicaa.
    When Odysseus, protected by Leucothea, reached the coast of the Phaeacian island of Scheria, he fell asleep in a thicket near the shore. Meanwhile, Athena appeared in a dream to Nausi-caà, daughter of King Alcinous, and suggested that she take her handmaidens to do the washing by the shore. The next morning, while frolicking there with her companions, Nausicaâ awakened Odysseus, whose appearance frightened away the other young women. However, the princess greeted him and offered to escort him to the city. There he met her father and was entertained at a banquet. The blind minstrel Demodocus sang so beautifully of the Trojan War that Odysseus wept and told the company of his travels since leaving Troy. Alcinous offered Nausicaâ as a bride, but Odysseus politely declined, remaining loyal to Penelope.
    The Phaeacians supplied Odysseus with a ship and crew, which took him to Ithaca. As he slept, he was put ashore in his homeland.
