Odysseus to Queen Arete of the Phaeacians: “I just know some poet is going to tell the story of my epic adventures without compensating me, stealing me blind. The tale would be a sure-fire blockbuster hit for many years to come.
“Look, you’re obviously pretty well off. Do you know a sharp literary lawyer that can protect my rights? I hear some young guy named ‘Homer’ is already doing research. I’ll cut you in for a share of my profits, honest to gods!”

I’ve added a comment there pointing to the info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, first work by him used here.
Don’t you hate it when you go out to a nice restaurant, and then this guy gets into an argument with his wife and then ends up kneeling on the floor, loudly begging her forgiveness?

/// Brave Odysseus knelt down to seize
Queen Arete by hugging her knees.
He’d been cloaked by a mist
so she didn’t resist.
At his sudden appearance, all freeze.
/// And, so, how did he get to this spot?
First he’s hidden in mist, now he’s not.
Near the Queen he appeared.
Will our hero be speared?
That’s explained in The Odyssey’s plot.
