- "The wind drove me out of Ilium on to Ismarus, the Cicones' stronghold.
- "You can only reach your home by disciplining you and your men. Heed my words. You must not touch the cattle of Helios, the sun god, who sees all! If you leave those sacred beasts unharmed, your ship and your crew will reach Ithaca safely. But if you allow your men to kill any of Helios' cattle, then your ship and crew will be destroyed, and you will suffer more long years at sea. You'll return at last, but under a strange sail, unrecognized at home, and your palace overrun by enemies - suitors who seek to eat up your flocks and claim your wife. "
- \After they sailed from Troy, they ransacked the city, killed the men and took the plunder and wives. Odysseus and his men lost six of their men due to the events that transpired during their battle with the cicones. They then faced the mutinous lotus-eaters, however, him and his men were able to escape.
- "I signaled the crew with frowns to set me free—they flung themselves at the oars and rowed on harder, Perimedes and Eurylochus springing up at once to bind me faster with rope on chafing rope."

But even from there my courage,my presence of mind and tactics saved us all,and we will live to remember this someday,I have no doubt. Up now, follow my orders,all of us work as one!"
