Odyssey 1.351–353
Telemachus to Penelope as Phemius sings
τὴν γὰρ ἀοιδὴν μᾶλλον ἐπικλείουσʼ ἄνθρωποι,
ἥ τις ἀκουόντεσσι νεωτάτη ἀμφιπέληται.
σοὶ δʼ ἐπιτολμάτω κραδίη καὶ θυμὸς ἀκούειν·
For people prize that song the highest
which comes to its hearers as the newest.
Let your heart and spirit dare to listen.
