　　翻譯：

　　離開特洛伊城的第10天，奧德修斯跟他的隨從來到了一個島上。島上的居民只以忘憂樹的果實和花為食物。這種神奇的動物，魔力極大，誰只有吃了它，就會忘記往事，而陷入模模糊糊的昏睡狀態。當奧德修斯的侍從到達時，島上居民友好地邀請他們吃這種甜美的食物。花果的魔力即時在他們身上起作用，使他們陷入了深沉的昏睡狀況。他們失去了對未來的渴望。海跟船在他們看來無聊而可惡。他們也不再急于見到妻兒和王國。奧德修斯見不到隨從返回的跡象，就頓生猜忌。他和一些全副武裝的跟從出發了。他們要去查出事情的原形。不久，他就發現了那種食品神奇的魔力。他不許隨從碰這種動物，并發出命令：把那些勤倦的居民拖回船上;并把他們捆在凳子上。直到他們睡夠了，才解除了忘憂樹有害的魔力。他們毫不猶豫地揚帆動身，分開因吃忘憂樹上花果而昏睡的島上居民向前駛去。

　　睡前故事閱讀之英雄時代的開篇中文翻譯：

　　到了青銅期末代,人類世界變得非常殘酷,人類也變得貪婪、粗魯且不忠誠。公理與法律不再受到尊重。殷勤好客的風尚被遺忘。宙斯裝扮成凡人的樣子查看了阿卡迪亞跟色薩利兩地。他不喜好常人極度的罪惡,信念將他們從地球上鏟除。他毫不猶豫地釋放了夾雨的南風,并召來冷漠無情的波塞冬輔助他。很快全體人類世界被淹沒在一片汪洋之中。除了兩名恭順的色薩利人幸免于難外,人類被前所未有的洪水吞噬。

　　這對老夫妻沒有孩子。他們善良、虔誠、對生活滿意如意。丈夫是普羅米修斯的兒子,名叫丟卡利翁,妻子名為皮拉。丟卡利翁的父親當時就忠告他會暴發洪水,因此,他制了個巨大的箱子。當咆哮的洪水涌來時,夫妻倆就暗藏在箱中,這樣流落了九天,最終漂到了帕那薩斯山。

　　曾經活氣勃勃的大地顯現出恐怖的景象。去世亡與覆滅到處可見。老夫妻深感孤獨跟危險。他們就向上帝祈禱,乞求幫助。一位圣人教唆他們把母親的遺骨擲向到處。這位聰明的泰坦的子弟,立即悟出了這個神秘領導所隱含的意思。他們開始將石頭拋向身后。異景浮現了。男人拋出的石頭變成了男人,女人拋的則變成了女人。從此人類再次在大陸上出現,英雄時代來臨。
