The Odyssey 22.35–41
“Ye dogs, ye thought that I should never more come home from the land of the Trojans, seeing that ye wasted my house, and lay with the maidservants by force, and while yet I lived covertly wooed my wife, having no fear of the gods, who hold broad heaven, nor of the indignation of men, that is to be hereafter. Now over you one and all have the cords of destruction been made fast.”
κύνες, οὔ μʼ ἔτʼ ἐφάσκεθʼ ὑπότροπον οἴκαδʼ ἱκέσθαι δήμου ἄπο Τρώων, ὅτι μοι κατεκείρετε οἶκον, δμῳῇσιν δὲ γυναιξὶ παρευνάζεσθε βιαίως, αὐτοῦ τε ζώοντος ὑπεμνάασθε γυναῖκα, οὔτε θεοὺς δείσαντες, οἳ οὐρανὸν εὐρὺν ἔχουσιν, οὔτε τινʼ ἀνθρώπων νέμεσιν κατόπισθεν ἔσεσθαι· νῦν ὑμῖν καὶ πᾶσιν ὀλέθρου πείρατʼ ἐφῆπται.
