Blessed are...

Blessed are those who have an Ithaca for their purpose
A Penelope, a Telemachous and an Argus waiting for them

And know well that no matter how long Poseidon's wrath
Keeps them apart
And no matter how much he persecutes them with Sirens
Scylla and Charybdis, Poliphimus and Lotus-eaters
They will triumph over it
Rejecting Calypso's offers of immortality
And slaying arrogant and insolent suitors
They will find themselves in their embrace
Justified!
