Theagenes whispered to Charikleia: "Obviously, my love, you will tell the king the truth about us.  This is indeed Hydaspes, who you have often told me is your father."

But Charikleia replied: "My darling, great ends can only be achieved by means of equal greatness.  A story whose beginnings heaven has made convoluted cannot be quickly resolved.  In particular it may be dangerous to reveal abruptly things that the passing years have made obscure, especially when the central figure of our entire story, the key to the whole tangled web of complexity and recognition, is missing.  I refer, of course, to my mother, Persinna, whom we know to be yet living, by heaven's grace."

"But what if we are sacrificed before we see her?" interrupted Theagenes. "What if we are given away as booty of war and so prevented from ever reaching Ethiopia?"

– Heliodorus, from The Aethiopica, or, Theagenes and Charikleia (3rd or 4th century AD), translated from Greek by J.R. Morgan (1989)
