"Here did they rites, Perimedes and Eurylochus,"
Check a definition of "rites." Who were Perimedes and Eurylochus?
I need help paraphrasing Canto I by Ezra Pound. I have to write it in paragraph form and I can't leave anything out. I'm having trouble with a few lines.
"And then went down to the ship,
Set keel to breakers, forth on the godly sea, and"
"Circe's this craft, the trim-coifed goddess"
"Covered with close-webbed mist, unpierced ever
With glitter of sun-rays
Nor with stars stretched, nor looking back from heaven
Swartest night stretched over wretched men there."
"Here did they rites, Perimedes and Eurylochus,"
"Then prayed I many a prayer to the sickly death's-head;"
