Odyssey

Book 4, Line 842 by Samuel Butler (English)

Meantime the suitors went on board and sailed their ways over the sea, intent on murdering Telemakhos. Now there is a rocky islet called Asteris, of no great size, in mid channel between Ithaca and Samos , and there is a harbor on either side of it where a ship can lie. Here then the Achaeans placed themselves in ambush.
