Book 8 · Passage 35

Thus did he speak. The others all of them applauded his saying, and sent their servants to fetch the presents. Then Euryalus said, ‘King Alcinous, I will give the stranger all the satisfaction you require. He shall have my sword, which is of bronze, all but the hilt, which is of silver. I will also give him the scabbard of newly sawn ivory into which it fits. It will be worth a great deal to him.’
