Nausicaa and Odysseus


At the end of his wanderings Odysseus (Ulysses) went to the island of Phaeacians where Alcinous, Nausicaa’s father, reigned. She led Odysseus to the royal palace where, during a banquet, the king wished to see the Trojan War hero married to his daughter. Odysseus chose to return to his island and to his family.

No final das suas deambulações Odisseus (Ulisses) foi parar à ilha dos Feácios onde reinava Alcinoo, pai de Nausicaa. Esta levou ao palácio real, onde durante um banquete o rei manifestou o desejo de ver o herói da guerra de Tróia casado com sua filha. Odisseus preferiu regressar à sua ilha e família.
