When a man under some pretext or other goes in front or alongside of a woman and touches her body with his own, it is called the “touching embrace.”
Odyssey by Homer, translated by Samuel Butler
Ulysses looked sternly at him and answered, “If you were their sacrificing priest, you must have prayed many a time that it might be long before I got home again, and that you might marry my wife and have children by her. Therefore you shall die.”
Odyssey by Homer, translated by Alexander Pope
“Now (cried Telemachus) with speedy care
Hoist every sail, and every oar prepare.”
Swift as the word his willing mates obey,
And seize their seats, impatient for the sea.
