Quotes for 3 and 4
If Athena were to take as great a liking to you as she did to Odysseus when we were fighting before Troy (for I never saw the gods so openly fond of anyone as Athena then was of your father), if she would take as good care of you as she did of him, these wooers would soon some of them forget their wooing.
