The Odyssey 9.355–359
“‘Give it me again with a ready heart, and tell me thy name straightway, that I may give thee a stranger's gift whereat thou mayest be glad. For among the Cyclopes the earth, the giver of grain, bears the rich clusters of wine, and the rain of Zeus gives them increase; but this is a streamlet of ambrosia and nectar.’
δός μοι ἔτι πρόφρων, καί μοι τεὸν οὔνομα εἰπὲ αὐτίκα νῦν, ἵνα τοι δῶ ξείνιον, κε σὺ χαίρῃς· καὶ γὰρ Κυκλώπεσσι φέρει ζείδωρος ἄρουρα οἶνον ἐριστάφυλον, καί σφιν Διὸς ὄμβρος ἀέξει· ἀλλὰ τόδʼ ἀμβροσίης καὶ νέκταρός ἐστιν ἀπορρώξ.
