Odyssey
Book 23, Line 256 by Samuel Butler (English)
"You shall go to bed as soon as you please," replied Penelope, "now that the gods have sent you home to your own good house and to your country. But as heaven has put it in your mind to speak of it, tell me about the task [ athlos ] that lies before you. I shall have to hear about it later, so it is better that I should be told at once."
