This Harpy was named Ce-lae'no. When the Trojans heard her awful words
they prayed to the gods for protection, and then hastening to their
ships, they put to sea. They soon came near Ith'a-ca, the island
kingdom of Ulysses, the most skilful in stratagem of all the Greek

approach she at once recognized him, but she was so overcome with
surprise that for some time she was unable to utter a word. As soon as
