Odysseus and Penelope
I finished reading The Odyssey again yesterday--this time, I re-read the prose translation by E. V. Rieu.
Here's the best moment from this time through the book:
Once more Athene of the flashing eyes took thought on his behalf. Not till she was satisfied that he had had his fill of love and sleep in his wife's arms, did she arouse the lazy Dawn to leave her golden throne by Ocean Stream and to bring daylight to the world.Of course, there's a different "best moment of the book" every time I read it, but this time, that was it.
