Verse
Odyssey
Book 12, Line 447 by Samuel Butler (English)
"Hence I was carried along for nine days till on the tenth night the gods stranded me on the Ogygian island, where dwells the great and powerful goddess Calypso. She took me in and was kind to me, but I need say no more about this, for I told you and your noble wife all about it yesterday, and it is hateful [ ekhthron ] for me to say the same thing over and over again."
