Nausica : Tragedia en tres actes treta de l'Odissea d'Homer by Joan Maragall
"Nausica : Tragedia en tres actes treta de l''Odissea d''Homer" by Joan Maragall is a play written in the early 20th century. This lyrical tragedy revisits the Odyssey’s Phaeacian episode, centering on the young princess Nausica and a shipwrecked hero whose arrival tests hospitality, piety, and desire. It follows Nausica, Ulisses, King Alcinous, the queen, and the court poet Daimó in a poised blend of myth, music, and moral debate. The opening
of the play shows Nausica by the river with her companions, restless after a storm and stirred by a dream of marriage; she imagines a hero and then meets the naked, battered Ulisses, whom she aids and discreetly directs toward the city. At a palace feast, courtiers argue over libations, the queen announces the stranger, and the king extends sacred hospitality; Daimó’s song of Troy moves the guest to tears. In private, he reveals himself as Ulisses and recounts trials like the Sirens and the descent to the underworld, while Nausica’s admiration intensifies. At dawn in the port, fishermen and sailors ready a ship as Dimant explains the oracle and Poseidon’s anger, and Nausica confides to Daimó her trembling fascination before the departure is set in motion.
