Odyssey
Book 13, Line 375 by Samuel Butler (English)
"Odysseus," said Athena, "noble son of Laertes , think how you can lay hands on these disreputable people who have been lording it in your house these three years, courting your wife and making wedding presents to her, while she does nothing but mourning your nostos , giving hope and sending encouraging messages to every one of them, but meaning [in her noos ] the very opposite of all she says."
