Odyssey 13.293–295

Athena to Odysseus on Ithaca

σχέτλιε, ποικιλομῆτα, δόλων ἆτʼ, οὐκ ἄρʼ ἔμελλες,

οὐδʼ ἐν σῇ περ ἐὼν γαίῃ, λήξειν ἀπατάων

μύθων τε κλοπίων, οἵ τοι πεδόθεν φίλοι εἰσίν.

Stubborn man, master of twists, inexhaustible in schemes!

Even in your own land you would not stop your deceptions

and thieving tales, dear to you from the ground up.
