The Odyssey 13.154–158
When all the people are looking forth from the city upon her as she speeds on her way, then do thou turn her to stone hard by the land—a stone in the shape of a swift ship, that all men may marvel; and do thou fling a great mountain about their city.” Now when Poseidon, the earth-shaker, heard this
πέπον, ὡς μὲν ἐμῷ θυμῷ δοκεῖ εἶναι ἄριστα, ὁππότε κεν δὴ πάντες ἐλαυνομένην προΐδωνται λαοὶ ἀπὸ πτόλιος, θεῖναι λίθον ἐγγύθι γαίης νηῒ θοῇ ἴκελον, ἵνα θαυμάζωσιν ἅπαντες ἄνθρωποι, μέγα δέ σφιν ὄρος πόλει ἀμφικαλύψαι.
