Homer Odyssey 9

'Alas!
Now an ancient prophecy about me
has truly been fulfilled!  Telemus, 
fine, tall son of Eurymus, a seer
who surpassed all men in prophecy,
reached old age among the Cyclopes  
as a soothsayer.  He said all these things
would come to pass someday—I'd lose my sight
at the hand of someone called Odysseus.

— Homer, Odyssey, ix, 509; translated by Ian C. Johnston
