Read the excerpt from the odyssey.
six benches were left empty in every ship
that evening when we pulled away from death.
and this new grief we bore with us to sea:
our precious lives we had, but not our friends.
no ship made sail next day until some shipmate
had raised a cry, three times, for each poor ghost
unfleshed by the cicones on that field.
