f squall moved down like night on land and sea. The bows went plunging at the gust; sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.

For two days and nights, Zeus created a storm at sea. Odysseus and his men feared greatly for their lives. The sails on the ship cracked in the heavy winds. The men felt grief as they lay offshore and waited.
