Having finished supper, they banqueted( 10) afresh on conversation, Homer narrating his wanderings, and telling of the cities he had visited.
At length they retired to rest; but on the following morning, Glaucus resolved to go to his master, and acquaint him with his meeting with Homer.

Having left the goats in charge of a fellow-servant, he left Homer at home, promising to return quickly.

He paid little attention to what he said, and blamed Glaucus for his stupidity in taking in and feeding maimed and enfeebled persons.
