Verse
Iliad
Book 14, Line 269 by Samuel Butler (English)
Sleep was pleased when he heard this, and answered, "Then swear it to me by the dread waters of the river Styx; lay one hand on the bounteous earth, and the other on the sheen of the sea, so that all the gods who dwell down below with Kronos may be our witnesses, and see that you really do give me one of the youngest of the Graces [ kharites ] - Pasithea, whom I have always wanted to marry."
