Beauty Herself Greets Odysseus (Clip)
Odysseus, when he sees nubile and beautiful Nausicaa when he washes up on shore at the beginning of Book 6, does not try to capture her in any way. This in a time with raiding parties and the famous r*pes of ancient myths.
Ian links this true appreciation of her beauty to what he needs to go on on his journey.
