The Odyssey 22.195–199
“Now verily, Melanthius, shalt thou watch the whole night through, lying on a soft bed, as befits thee, nor shalt thou fail to mark the early Dawn, golden-throned, as she comes forth from the streams of Oceanus, at the hour when thou art wont to drive thy she-goats for the wooers, to prepare a feast in the halls.”
νῦν μὲν δὴ μάλα πάγχυ, Μελάνθιε, νύκτα φυλάξεις, εὐνῇ ἔνι μαλακῇ καταλέγμενος, ὥς σε ἔοικεν· οὐδέ σέ γʼ ἠριγένεια παρʼ Ὠκεανοῖο ῥοάων λήσει ἐπερχομένη χρυσόθρονος, ἡνίκʼ ἀγινεῖς αἶγας μνηστήρεσσι δόμον κάτα δαῖτα πένεσθαι.
