Advice

Homer, Odyssey 1.301-302 (Athena disguised as Mentes to Telemachus) = 3.199-200 (Nestor to Telemachus; tr. Simon Pulleyn):
And you, friend—for I see that you are very handsome and tall—
Be strong, so that someone born in later days may speak well of you.

καὶ σὺ φίλος, μάλα γάρ σ᾽ ὁρόω καλόν τε μέγαν τε,
ἄλκιμος ἔσσ᾽, ἵνα τίς σε καὶ ὀψιγόνων ἐὺ εἴπῃ.
