“The shade of the famous Theban prophet, holding a golden scepter, knew me at once and hailed me: ‘Royal son of Laertes, Odysseus, master of exploits, man of pain, what now, what brings you here, forsaking the light of day to see this joyless kingdom of the dead? Stand back…put up your sharp sword so I can tell you all the truth.” — Homer, The Odyssey (Book 11, as translated by R. Fagles)
