The Odyssey 23.5–9
“Awake, Penelope, dear child, that with thine own eyes thou mayest see what thou desirest all thy days. Odysseus is here, and has come home, late though his coming has been, and has slain the proud wooers who vexed his house, and devoured his substance, and oppressed his son.”
ἔγρεο, Πηνελόπεια, φίλον τέκος, ὄφρα ἴδηαι ὀφθαλμοῖσι τεοῖσι τά τʼ ἔλδεαι ἤματα πάντα. ἦλθʼ Ὀδυσεὺς καὶ οἶκον ἱκάνεται, ὀψέ περ ἐλθών. μνηστῆρας δʼ ἔκτεινεν ἀγήνορας, οἵ θʼ ἑὸν οἶκον κήδεσκον καὶ κτήματʼ ἔδον βιόωντό τε παῖδα.
