Odyssey 3.26–28

Athena to Telemachus before he approaches Nestor

Τηλέμαχʼ, ἄλλα μὲν αὐτὸς ἐνὶ φρεσὶ σῇσι νοήσεις,

ἄλλα δὲ καὶ δαίμων ὑποθήσεται· οὐ γὰρ ὀίω

οὔ σε θεῶν ἀέκητι γενέσθαι τε τραφέμεν τε.

“Telemachus, some things you will devise within your own mind,

and a divine power will suggest others. For I do not think

you were born and raised without the gods' goodwill.”
