Athena came to his prayer from close at hand,
for all the world with Mentor’s build and voice,
and she urged him on with winging words.
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 2, lines 300-303. Athena answers Telemachus’ prayer for help to deal with the suitors. Arriving in the disguise of Mentor she offers him encouragement. A metaphor describes her words as having wings.
