Odyssey 6.206–208

Nausicaa to her attendants, of the shipwrecked stranger

ἀλλʼ ὅδε τις δύστηνος ἀλώμενος ἐνθάδʼ ἱκάνει,

τὸν νῦν χρὴ κομέειν· πρὸς γὰρ Διός εἰσιν ἅπαντες

ξεῖνοί τε πτωχοί τε, δόσις δʼ ὀλίγη τε φίλη τε.

This poor man has come here in his wanderings,

and now we must care for him. All strangers and beggars

come from Zeus, and even a small gift is welcome.
