Examples
Only after Calypso is put aside, do Arete the wife and Nausicaa the maid become possible.
From the grot of Calypso he passes to the home of Arete; both woman and man are in an ethical relation.
Still she withholds her sympathy at first for a good reason; Arete is not wholly impulse and feeling, she has thought, reflection.

Altogether too sudden; Arete would not have said that, though the woman be the natural match-maker.
