"Stranger,
I’ll be the first to question you – myself.
Who are you? Where are you from?
Who gave you the clothes you’re wearing now?
Didn’t you say you reached us roving on the sea."
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 7, lines 272-276. Queen Arete asks Odysseus point-blank about his identity. Odysseus doesn’t give direct answers to her questions, but responds by telling his story about being confined on Ogygia, Calypso’s island.
