The story begins with the narrator calling upon the Muse to help him tell the story of Odysseus（奥德修斯）. It is on the tenth year since Troy has fallen to the Greeks. On Mount Olympus, Zeus summons a council with all the major gods present except Poseidon（波塞冬）, who is away in Ethiopia （埃塞俄比亚）. This is good for Odysseus, since Poseidon is the only one that would not like to see him return home safely. Zeus speaks of man who devises his own misery but blames the gods. He refers to Aegisthus（艾奎司托斯）, who killed Agamemnon（阿伽门农） and stole his wife, though the gods warned him that Agamemnon’s son, Orestes（俄瑞斯忒斯）, would someday revenge—which he justly did. Athena speaks on behalf of （为了）Odysseus, who has for seven years stayed in the land of the nymph（女神） Calypso（卡利普索） longing for home. She pleads with Zeus to free Odysseus. He agrees, and sends Hermes to Calypso to ask her to free Odysseus.
