The Iliad 3.384–389
Then with her hand the goddess laid hold of her fragrant robe, and plucked it, and spake to her in the likeness of an ancient dame, a wool-comber, who had been wont to card the fair wool for her when she dwelt in Lacedaemon, and who was well loved of her; in her likeness fair Aphrodite spake:
πύργῳ ἐφʼ ὑψηλῷ, περὶ δὲ Τρῳαὶ ἅλις ἦσαν· χειρὶ δὲ νεκταρέου ἑανοῦ ἐτίναξε λαβοῦσα, γρηῒ δέ μιν ἐϊκυῖα παλαιγενέϊ προσέειπεν εἰροκόμῳ, οἱ Λακεδαίμονι ναιετοώσῃ ἤσκειν εἴρια καλά, μάλιστα δέ μιν φιλέεσκε· τῇ μιν ἐεισαμένη προσεφώνεε δῖʼ Ἀφροδίτη·
