Ulysus

On the year 100 and 5 after Aldland was sunken, is this written upon the eastwall at Frya’s burgh.¹

After we in twelve years time had seen no Greeks at Almanland, there came three ships so elegant as none we had hitherto never hadn’t seen. Upon the greatest of them was a king of the Jhohn’s islands.

His name was Ulysus and the acclaim of his wisdom great.
Of this king was it foretold through a priestess, that he should become king over all Greece so long as he heeded the advice to get a foddik which was struck on the foddik at Texland.⁵

To fetch one, he had brought along many treasures, above all, women’s jewellery, such as there are not more beautiful made in the world.
They came from Troy, a place which the Greeks had conquered.
All these treasures, they offered to the Mother, but the Mother wouldn’t wit naught thereof.

When he at last saw, that she was not to win, he went to Walhallagara (Walcheren).
There was a maid set up her name was Kat, then in due course was she called Kalip (Calipso) because her lower lip stuck out like a masthead.¹⁰

With her had he whiled away years to the distress of all them that wist. According to the maid’s claim had he at last got a foddik from her though this has not profited him, for as he came into the sea, his ship is lost and he taken up naked and bare by the other ships.

Of this king is here a writer left of pure Frya’s blood, born at the new harbour of Athens and what here follows has he written for us about Athens, thence may one conclude, how true the Mother Hel-licht has spoken when she said that Frya’s seed could not hold a place at Athens.
