NAUSICAA , in
Greek
 
legend
 , daughter of
Alcinous
 , king of the Phaeacians in the
island
  of Scheria (Odyssey, vi. 15-315, viii. 457.) When Odysseus (Ulysses) was swept into the sea from the raft on which he had left the
home
  of
Calypso
 , he swam ashore to Scheria, where he
fell
  asleep on the bank of a river. Here he was found by Nausicaa; who supplied him with clothes and took him to her father's palace, where he was hospitably entertained. She is said to have become the wife of Telemachus. The incident of Odysseus and Nausicaa formed the subject of a lost play by Sophocles and was frequently represented in ancient art.
