Helen, her cheeks flushed with beauty, moved beside him,
holding the robe in her arms, and offered, warmly,
"Here, dear boy, I too have a gift to give you,
a keepsake of Helen – I wove it with my hands –
for your own bride to wear
when the blissful day of marriage dawns…
Until then, let it rest in your mother’s room."

– Homer

The Odyssey, Book 15, lines 132-141. When Telemachus announces his departure from Menelaus’ palace, Helen presents him with a gift of a beautiful robe for his future bride. Helen shows herself to be a gracious host.
