He's lost his raft.
He's got nothing.
And as he washes up on the shore, who should happen to be there at that moment?
But the princess of the Phaeacians, Nausicaa.
So Nausicaa, in a kind of beautiful moment, has basically kind of been sent out with her dowry clothes.
And she essentially has been packing up all of these beautiful clothes that she is going to take with her when she gets married.
And she's just kind of had this intimation from Athena that it might be a good idea to take these to the shore and wash them in case she gets married anytime soon.
And she meets a naked man on the beach.
And now Sicara, of course, is very much taken by this and starts thinking, well, potentially this is my man.
Odysseus, it must be said, does nothing to dispel that.
And he very much kind of plays on that.
He says, you know, whoever manages to get you and kind of manages to marry you will be very lucky indeed.
So there's definitely an element of kind of courtship going on here.
In any case, Nausicaa offers him clothes.
She has clothes with her.
That's lucky.
And she leads him back to the city of the Phaeacians.
And there he has to supplicate.
That means throw himself at the mercy of the queen, whose name is Arete.
So odyssey hunting has been a favourite sport of Homeric scholars.
