"Now you’ll see, if you care to watch, father,
now I’m fired up. Disgrace, you say?
I won’t disgrace your line!"
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 24, lines 563-565. Telemachus assures his father that he will fight valiantly alongside him in any war with the supporters of the slain suitors. He will bring honor and no disgrace to the family, he vows.
