[The Odyssey]

Alcinous and Arete

All the answers are correct. Phaeacia is a complete Paradise, and all the people in it are wonderfully friendly and sympathetic. Apart from a tendency to gossip about their princess's marriage prospects, they have no vices. The King and Queen agree at once to give you a ship - and sailors to take you all the way home, with all the clothes and provisions you could hope for - as well as lavish gifts. Details will be discussed in the morning - you give them a short sample of your tale, and retire thankfully to the well-upholstered bed …

You have one more day to spend in Phaeacia, as guests of King Alcinous and Queen Arete (and their daughter Nausicaa).
