And with that thought
he walked up to Odysseus, gave him his right hand
and winged a greeting: "Cheers, old friend, old father,
here’s to your luck, great days from this day on –
saddled now as you are with so much trouble.
Father Zeus, no god’s more deadly than you!
No mercy for men, you give them life yourself
then plunge them into misery, brutal hardship.
I broke into sweat, my friend, when I first saw you –
see, my eyes still brim with tears, remembering him,
Odysseus."
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 20, lines 216-222. The kindly Philoetius walks up to Odysseus-the-beggar and warmly greets him. He says that his eyes are full of tears with the memory of his absent master Odysseus. Philoetius is the loyal herdsman of Odysseus.
