Odyssey
Book 11, Line 138 by Samuel Butler (English)
"‘This,’ I answered, ‘must be as it may please heaven, but tell me and tell me true, I see my poor mother's ghost [ psukhê ] close by us; she is sitting by the blood without saying a word, and though I am her own son she does not remember me and speak to me; tell me, Sir, how I can make her know me.’
