And Athena, eyes flashing in the dark: “Let it go, Odysseus. Some people trust their puny human friends more than you trust me. And here I am, a goddess, protecting you in all your trials. To put it plainly, even if there were fifty squadrons of armed men all around us, doing their mortal best to kill us, you would still be able to run off their cattle! Now get some sleep. Staying up all night will only sap your strength. All your troubles, Odysseus, will soon be over.”
(Homer, translated by Lombardo, 2000, p.310)
