Odyssey
Book 3, Line 329 by Samuel Butler (English)
As he spoke the sun set and it came on dark, whereon Athena said, "Sir, all that you have said is well; now, however, order the tongues of the victims to be cut, and mix wine that we may make drink-offerings to Poseidon, and the other immortals, and then go to bed, for it is bed time [ hôra ]. People should go away early and not keep late hours at a religious festival."
