"Dear guest, Oneiroi (Dreams) are beyond our unravelling--who can be sure what tale they tell? Not all that men look for comes to pass. Two gates there are that give passage to fleeting Oneiroi; one is made of horn, one of ivory. The Oneiroi that pass through sawn ivory are deceitful, bearing a message that will not be fulfilled; those that come out through polished horn have truth behind them, to be accomplished for men who see them."

--Homer, Odyssey 19. 562 ff (trans. Shewring) (Greek epic C8th B.C.)
