Verse
Iliad
Book 15, Line 25 by Samuel Butler (English)
which I felt about noble Herakles whom you and Boreas had spitefully conveyed beyond the seas [ pontos ] to Cos, after suborning the tempests; but I rescued him, and notwithstanding all his mighty labors I brought him back again to Argos . I would remind you of this that you may learn to leave off being so deceitful, and discover how much you are likely to gain by the embraces out of which you have come here to trick me."
