As already hinted, the structure of the Book is determined by the two interventions of Pallas, which divide it into two portions; these are shown in the following outline:—

I. (1.) Pallas appears to Nausicaa in a dream, and gives the suggestion.
  (2.) Nausicaa, when she awakes, obeys the suggestion and proceeds to the place of the washing.
   
II. (1.) Ulysses also asleep, lies in his cover not far from the same spot, when Pallas starts the plan for his waking.
  (2.) Meeting of Ulysses and Nausicaa, and the going to the city.

In both parts we observe the same general method; the divine influence, beginning above, moves below and weaves the mortal into its scheme through his own action.
