"My reluctant mother is plagued by suitors,
sons of the leading men in this and other islands. Their honest course would be to interview her father, Icarius, and ask him to fix his daughter's marriage terms and give her to the man he liked or found fittest from among them. But they shrink in a twitter from such plain dealing.

-Telemachus, Book 2, The Odyssey by Homer (Translation by T.E. Lawrence)-
