"So she spoke to them, and the rest gave voice, and called her
and at once she opened the shining doors, and came out, and
invited them in, and all in their innocence entered; only
Eurylochos waited outside, for he suspected treachery. She
brought them inside and seated them on chairs and benches,
and mixed them a potion, with barley and cheese and pale
honey added to Pramneian wine, but put into the mixture
malignant drugs, to make them forgetful of their own country.
When she had given them this and they had drunk it down,

them stayed as they had been before."
