Odysseus George Kolotouros
Donation protected
Over the mountains of Kerkyra with Odysseus I rode.
On chariots of steel we tamed the twisting roads
As Jason and Pelagia at our sides did ride.
How to speak of ancient things we saw
And Odysseus so present as to miss nothing
Of the hidden treasures that awaited us
Past valleys deep and hilltops high.
How bursting with joy and curiosity
Was he, that through him all I had seen before
I was seeing for the first time.
Oh Odysseus, how I will miss you
Your ship has sailed and in its wake I wave.
I see you so well
Standing tall on the quarterdeck gazing at the moonlit sea
And always with the smile—yes, that smile, the one only you had.
