Odyssey

Book 16, Line 478 by Samuel Butler (English)

Then, when they had finished their labor [ ponos ] and the meal was ready, they ate it, and every man had his full share so that all were satisfied. As soon as they had had enough to eat and drink, they laid down to rest and enjoyed the boon of sleep.
