"Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"Homer, Odyssey 16.4-5 (my translation):
"To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."
"The dog did nothing in the night-time."
"That was the curious incident," remarked Sherlock Holmes.
But around Telemachus fawned the always barking dogs,
and did not bark at him as he approached.

οὐδ᾽ ὕλαον προσιόντα.
