  The Odyssey, Book II
  1. ἦμος δ' ἠριγένεια φάνη ῥοδοδάκτυλος Ἠώς,
    Soon as early Dawn appeared, the rosy-fingered,
  2. ὤρνυτ' ἄρ' ἐξ εὐνῆφιν Ὀδυσσῆος φίλος υἱὸς
    up from his bed arose the dear son of Odysseus
  3. εἵματα ἑσσάμενος, περὶ δὲ ξίφος ὀξὺ θέτ' ὤμῳ,
    and put on his clothing. About his shoulder he slung his sharp sword,
  4. ποσσὶ δ' ὑπὸ λιπαροῖσιν ἐδήσατο καλὰ πέδιλα,
    and beneath his shining feet bound his fair sandals,
  5. βῆ δ' ἴμεν ἐκ θαλάμοιο θεῷ ἐναλίγκιος ἄντην.
    and went forth from his chamber like a god to look upon.
