The Odyssey 24.357–360
I sent forward Telemachus and the neatherd and the swineherd, that with all speed they might prepare our meal.”
So spoke the two, and went their way to the goodly house. And when they had come to the stately house, they found Telemachus, and the neatherd, and the swineherd carving flesh in abundance, and mixing the flaming wine.
θάρσει, μή τοι ταῦτα μετὰ φρεσὶ σῇσι μελόντων.
ἀλλʼ ἴομεν προτὶ οἶκον, ὃς ὀρχάτου ἐγγύθι κεῖται·
ἔνθα δὲ Τηλέμαχον καὶ βουκόλον ἠδὲ συβώτην
προὔπεμψʼ, ὡς ἂν δεῖπνον ἐφοπλίσσωσι τάχιστα.
