{{Blockquote|text=
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.|sign=Homer|source=Odyssey, ix, 509; [https://johnstoniatexts.x10host.com/homer/odyssey9html.html translated] by Ian C. Johnston}}
