[[Scheria]] or [[Scherie]] (/ˈskɛriə/; Ancient Greek: [[Σχερία]] or [[Σχερίη]]), also known as [[Phaeacia]] (/fiːˈeɪʃə/), was a region in Greek mythology, first mentioned in Homer's Odyssey as the home of the [[Phaeacian]]s and the last destination of [[Odysseus]] in his 10-year journey before returning home to Ithaca. | |wketx=[[Scheria]] or [[Scherie]] (/ˈskɛriə/; Ancient Greek: [[Σχερία]] or [[Σχερίη]]), also known as [[Phaeacia]] (/fiːˈeɪʃə/), was a region in Greek mythology, first mentioned in Homer's Odyssey as the home of the [[Phaeacian]]s and the last destination of [[Odysseus]] in his 10-year journey before returning home to Ithaca. | ||
Before leaving [[Ogygia]], Odysseus builds a raft and sails eastwards, instructed by [[Calypso]] to navigate using the stars as a celestial reference point. On the eighteenth day appear the shadowy mountains of the land of the Phaeacians, that looked like a shield in the misty deep. But Poseidon spots his raft and seeking vengeance for his son Polyphemus who was blinded by Odysseus, produces a storm that torments Odysseus. After three days of struggle with the waves, he is finally washed up on Scheria. | Before leaving [[Ogygia]], Odysseus builds a raft and sails eastwards, instructed by [[Calypso]] to navigate using the stars as a celestial reference point.

Meanwhile, the goddess Athena sneaks into the palace, disguised as a sea-captain's daughter, and instructs princess Nausicaa (the daughter of King Alcinous) in her sleep to go to the seashore and wash her clothes. The next morning, Nausicaa and her maids go to the seashore, and after washing the clothes, start to play a game on the beach, with laughs, giggles and shouts. Odysseus, who was exhausted from his adventure and sleeping nearby, is awakened by the shouts. He covers his nakedness with thick leaves and goes to ask for help from the team. Upon seeing the unkempt Odysseus in this state, the maids run away, but, Nausicaa, encouraged by Athena, stands her ground and talks to him. To excuse the maids, she admits that the Phaeacians are "the farthermost of men, and no other mortals are conversant with them", so they run away since they have never seen a stranger before. Nausicaa, being hospitable, provides clothes, food and drink to Odysseus, and then directs him to the palace of King Alcinous. | Meanwhile, the goddess Athena sneaks into the palace, disguised as a sea-captain's daughter, and instructs princess Nausicaa (the daughter of King Alcinous) in her sleep to go to the seashore and wash her clothes.
