   • 1836, Homer (translated by Christian Wilster), The Iliad, page 148:

     Her har du hentet din Død, og til Verden du kom ved Gygaias / Søe, der ligger din fædrene Gaard, dine fædrene Jorder / Hist ved den fiskrige Hyllos og Hermos's rivende Vande.

     Here you got your death, and to the world you came by Gygaia's / Lake, there lies your ancestral farm, your ancestral lands / By the fish-rich Hyllos and the coursing waters of Hermos.
