διὰ τοῦτο τὰ μὲν ἐν Φαίαξι βασίλεια ἐκόσμησεν ἄλσεσί τε καὶ ὀπώραις δι᾿ ἔτους καὶ κρήναις ἀενάοις, ἔτι δὲ μᾶλλον τὸ τῆς Καλυψοῦς, ἅτε ὡραίας καὶ φιλανθρώπου θεᾶς ἐν νήσῳ καθ᾿ αὑτὴν ἀπῳκισμένης· τοῦτο μὲν γὰρ εὐώδη διαφερόντως φησὶ τὴν νῆσον τῶν ἡδίστων ἐν αὐτῇ καιομένων1 θυμιαμάτων, τοῦτο δὲ σύσκιον δένδροις εὐθαλέσι, κύκλῳ δὲ περὶ τὸ σπήλαιον ἄμπελον περιήκουσαν ὡραίαν, βότρυσι βριθομένην, ἔμπροσθεν δὲ λειμῶνας ἁπαλοὺς ἀναμὶξ σελίνων τε καὶ ἑτέρων, ἐν δὲ τῷ μέσῳ κρήνας τέτταρας λαμπροῦ καὶ διαφανοῦς ὕδατος πάντοσε ἀπορρέοντος, ἅτε οὐκ ὄντος ἑτεροκλινοῦς οὐδὲ ἀνίσου τοῦ χωρίου.
