Odyssey
Book 13, Line 420 by Samuel Butler (English)
Athena answered, "Never mind about him, I sent him that he might be well spoken [ kleos ] of for having gone. He is in no sort of difficulty [ ponos ], but is staying quite comfortably with Menelaos, and is surrounded with abundance of every kind. The suitors have put out to sea and are lying in wait for him, for they mean to kill him before he can get home. I do not much think they will succeed, but rather that some of those who are now eating up your estate will first find a grave themselves."
