"So damn those lords and captains,
those Phaeacians! Not entirely honest or upright, were they?
Sweeping me off to this, this no-man’s-land, and they,
they swore they’d sail me home to sunny Ithaca – well,
they never kept their word. Zeus of the Suppliants
pay them back – he keeps an eye on the world of men
and punishes all transgressors!"
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 13, lines 237-243. Odysseus wakes from his sleep on Ithaca, not realizing where he is. He believes that the Phaeacians have duped him and dropped him in some strange land instead of taking him home. He curses them and warns that Zeus will pay them back.
