though my revelations strike the suitors first of all—
a great disaster is rolling like a breaker toward their heads.†p. 98.6 * - At last, and sore at heart, I told my shipmates,
'Friends ...it's wrong for only one or two
to know the revelations that lovely Circe
made to me alone.†p. 276.3 - His reassurance stirred the queen to her depths
and the godlike seer Theoclymenus added firmly,
"Noble lady, wife of Laertes' son, Odysseus,
Menelaus can have no perfect revelations;
mark my words—I will make you a prophecy,
quite precise, and I'll hold nothing back.†p. 359.4
