この読み物の本文は、アポロドーロス『ビブリオテーケー（ギリシア神話）』 摘要7（E.7.1–E.7.40）全40節。ホメロス『イリアス』『オデュッセイア』の本文ではない。
ハデスとペルセポネとテイレシアスに供犠を捧げたのち、彼は徒歩でエペイロスを抜け、テスプロトイ人のもとへ来た。予言者テイレシアスの指示どおりに供犠を捧げ、ポセイドンの怒りを解いた。当時テスプロトイ人の女王だったカリディケは、留まるよう勧め、王位を差し出した。
And after sacrificing to Hades, and Persephone, and Tiresias, he journeyed on foot through Epirus, and came to the Thesprotians, and having offered sacrifice according to the directions of the soothsayer Tiresias, he propitiated Poseidon. But Callidice, who was then queen of the Thesprotians, urged him to stay and offered him the kingdom;
彼女は彼との間にポリュポイテスという子をもうけた。カリディケと結婚してテスプロトイ人を治め、攻めてきた近隣の民を戦で破った。だがカリディケが死ぬと、彼は王位を子に譲ってイタケへ戻り、そこで、ペネロペが彼との間に産んだポリポルテスに会った。
and she had by him a son Polypoetes. And having married Callidice, he reigned over the Thesprotians, and defeated in battle the neighboring peoples who attacked him. But when Callidice died he handed over the kingdom to his son and repaired to Ithaca, and there he found Poliporthes, whom Penelope had borne to him.
テレゴノスはキルケから自分がオデュッセウスの子だと知り、父を探して船出した。イタケ島に着いて牛を何頭か追い立てて連れ去ったところ、オデュッセウスがこれを守ろうとしたので、テレゴノスは手にしていた槍で彼を傷つけた。その槍は、エイの尾棘を穂先としていた。オデュッセウスはその傷がもとで死んだ。
When Telegonus learned from Circe that he was a son of Ulysses, he sailed in search of him. And having come to the island of Ithaca, he drove away some of the cattle, and when Ulysses defended them, Telegonus wounded him with the spear he had in his hands, which was barbed with the spine of a sting-ray, and Ulysses died of the wound.
だが相手が誰かを知ったテレゴノスは激しく嘆き、遺骸とペネロペをキルケのもとへ運び、そこでペネロペを妻とした。キルケは二人を至福者の島々へ送った。
But when Telegonus recognized him, he bitterly lamented, and conveyed the corpse and Penelope to Circe, and there he married Penelope. And Circe sent them both away to the Islands of the Blest.
しかし、ペネロペはアンティノオスに誘惑され、オデュッセウスによって父イカリオスのもとへ送り返されたのだと言う者もある。そしてアルカディアのマンティネイアに来て、ヘルメスとの間にパンを産んだのだ、と。
But some say that Penelope was seduced by Antinous and sent away by Ulysses to her father Icarius, and that when she came to Mantinea in Arcadia she bore Pan to Hermes.
また別の者たちは、彼女はアンフィノモスのことでオデュッセウス自身の手にかかって果てたのだと言う。アンフィノモスに誘惑されたというのである。
However others say that she met her end at the hands of Ulysses himself on account of Amphinomus, for they allege that she was seduced by him.
さらに、こう言う者たちもある。オデュッセウスは殺された者たちの縁者から訴えられ、エペイロス沖の島々の王ネオプトレモスの裁きに委ねた。ネオプトレモスはオデュッセウスさえ除けばケファレニアが手に入ると考えて、彼を追放と裁いた。オデュッセウスはアイトリアのトオアス（アンドライモンの子）のもとへ行き、トオアスの娘を娶り、その娘との間に生まれたレオントフォノスという子を残して、老いて死んだ、と。
And there are some who say that Ulysses, being accused by the kinsfolk of the slain, submitted the case to the judgment of Neoptolemus, king of the islands off Epirus; that Neoptolemus, thinking to get possession of Cephallenia if once Ulysses were put out of the way, condemned him to exile ; and that Ulysses went to Aetolia, to Thoas, son of Andraemon, married the daughter of Thoas, and leaving a son Leontophonus, whom he had by her, died in old age.
