Nuasicaa, from Book 6
Frederick Leighton, in 1878, exploits the beauty, innocence, and sensuality of Nausicaa, the young princess who discovers Odysseus while she washes linen at a river. Nausicaa, the daughter of the king of Phaeacia, is the last of Odysseus' temptations before he returns home. Were he to marry this mortal beauty, he could attempt to avoid the challenges that lie ahead, and delight in the seemingly endless games and entertainments of the Phaeacians.
