now zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north a storm against the ships, and driving veils of squall moved down like night on land and sea. the bows went plunging at the gust; sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind. we saw death in that fury, dropped the yards, unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee: then two long days and nights we lay offshore worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief, until a third dawn came with ringlets shining. then we put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested, letting the steersmen and the breeze take over. i might have made it safely home, that time, but as i came round malea the current took me out to sea, and from the north a fresh gale drove me on, past cythera. nine days i drifted on the teeming sea before dangerous high winds. who or what functions as a symbol in this passage? the sea dawn zeus the ships
