"Love your mockery, do you? Son of that blowhard Polytherses!
No more shooting off your mouth, you idiot, such big talk –
leave the last word to the gods – they’re much stronger!
Take this spear, this guest-gift, for the cow’s hoof
you once gave King Odysseus begging in his house!"
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 22, lines 301-305. The cowherd Philoetius spears suitor Ctesippus, who once hit Odysseus-the-beggar with an ox hoof. The "master of longhorn cattle" makes sure that his victim knows the crime against Odysseus for which he is being killed.
