That dumbfounded them both. They never dreamed
the prince had gone to Pylos, Neleus’ city –
certain the boy was still nearby somewhere,
out on his farm with flocks or with the swineherd.
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 4, lines 717-720. Suitors Antinous and Eurymachus are dumbfounded when they learn that Telemachus has embarked on a secret voyage to Pylos. They deceived themselves into believing that Telemachus was still on his farm or with swineherd Eumaeus.
