The expedition ship entered the harbour at Chryse and was moored there.
“When they had come inside the harbour they furled the sails and laid them in the ship’s hold; they slackened the forestays, lowered the mast into its place, and rowed the ship to the place where they would have her lie; there they cast out their mooring-stones and made fast the hawsers”
The vessel is drawn into the water, crewed with twenty oarsmen, and loaded with Chryseis and Apollo’s hecatomb.
“Agamemnon drew a vessel into the water and chose a crew of twenty oarsmen. He escorted Chryseis on board and sent moreover a hecatomb for the god. And Ulysses went as captain.”
At Chryse the ship’s sails are furled into the hold, forestays slackened, mast lowered, hull rowed into berth, mooring-stones cast, and hawsers fastened.
“Meanwhile Ulysses reached Chryse with the hecatomb. When they had come inside the harbour they furled the sails and laid them in the ship’s hold; they slackened the forestays, lowered the mast into its place, and rowed the ship to the place where they would have her lie; there they cast out their mooring-stones and made fast the hawsers.”
Under white sails bellied by Apollo’s fair wind, the ship flies through deep blue water with foam hissing at its bow, then is hauled high and dry onto strong props.
“Apollo sent them a fair wind, so they raised their mast and hoisted their white sails aloft. As the sail bellied with the wind the ship flew through the deep blue water, and the foam hissed against her bows as she sped onward. When they reached the wide-stretching host of the Achaeans, they drew the vessel ashore, high and dry upon the sands, set her strong props beneath her”
