Book 6: Nausicaa
The Meeting Between Nausicaa and Ulysses.
Athena sends the Phaeacian princess Nausicaa a dream, and she goes to the shore to wash clothes with her maids. Odysseus wakes, wrecked and naked, and approaches her with care.
Nausicaa gives him clothes and food and tells him how to reach her father's palace. She advises him to ask first for the help of her mother, the queen.
