Verse
Odyssey
Book 10, Line 375 by Samuel Butler (English)
"When Circe saw me sitting there without eating, and in great grief [ penthos ], she came to me and said, ‘Odysseus, why do you sit like that as though you were dumb, gnawing at your own heart, and refusing both meat and drink? Is it that you are still suspicious? You ought not to be, for I have already sworn solemnly that I will not hurt you.’
