Excerpt from Key to the First Eight Books of the Adventures of Telemachus, the Son of Ulysses Telemachus, conducted by Minerva, under the likeness of Mentor, lands, after having suffered shipwreck, upon the island of the god dess Calypso, who was still regretting the departure of Ulysses. The goddess receives him favorably, conceives a passion for him, offers him immortality, and enquires his adventures. He relates his voyage to Pylos and Lacedzemon; his shipwreck on the coast of Sicily; the danger he was in of being offered as a sacrifice to the manes of Achiscs; the assistance which Mentor and he gave Acestes against an incursion of barbarians; and the gratitude of the king, who, to reward their service, gave them a 'l'vrian vessel that they might return to their country.
