Odyssey

Book 16, Line 167 by Samuel Butler (English)

"Odysseus, noble son of Laertes , it is now time for you to tell your son: do not keep him in the dark any longer, but lay your plans for the destruction of the suitors, and then make for the town. I will not be long in joining you, for I too am eager for the fray."
