“I sailed back to Egypt, offered hecatombs, heaped a mound for Agamemnon so his fame would never die, and the gods sent me home. Stay here until the eleventh or twelfth day; I will give you three horses, a polished chariot, and a beautiful cup.” Telemachus asked not to be kept long — his companions fretted in Pylos — and begged a gift that could be stored; Ithaca has no broad courses for horses. Menelaus smiled and offered instead a silver mixing bowl with gold rims, wrought by Hephaestus, a gift from Phaedimus king of the Sidonians.
