Odyssey
Book 16, Line 60 by Samuel Butler (English)
To this you answered, O swineherd Eumaios, "My son, I will tell you the real truth [ alêthês ]. He says he is a Cretan, and that he has been a great traveler. At this moment he is running away from a Thesprotian ship, and has refuge at my station, so I will put him into your hands. Do whatever you like with him, only remember that he is your suppliant."
