Odyssey 15.398–401
Eumaeus to the disguised Odysseus in his hut
νῶϊ δʼ ἐνὶ κλισίῃ πίνοντέ τε δαινυμένω τε
κήδεσιν ἀλλήλων τερπώμεθα λευγαλέοισι,
μνωομένω· μετὰ γάρ τε καὶ ἄλγεσι τέρπεται ἀνήρ,
ὅς τις δὴ μάλα πολλὰ πάθῃ καὶ πόλλʼ ἐπαληθῇ.
But the two of us will drink and feast here in the hut,
taking pleasure as we recall one another’s grievous troubles.
Afterward a man can find delight even in suffering,
if he has endured many things and wandered far.
