"King Alcinous, shining among your island people,
you boasted Phaeacia’s dancers are the best –
they prove your point – I watch and I’m amazed."
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 8, lines 427-429. After Odysseus watches Alcinous’ son Laodamas and Halius perform a dance, he agrees with the king’s boast that Phaeacian dancers are the best.
