Sophocles [sc. uses the word]. Teucer [says] to the corpse of Ajax: "for whither is it possible for me to go, to which people, since I have been no help at all to your in your troubles? Sure, Telamon, your father and mine, perhaps, would welcome me with a smile on his face, and generously, perhaps, when I come without you. How could it be otherwise, with someone for whom it was never generous to smile even in good times."[2]

Sophocles,
Ajax 1006 - 1011 (web address 4), with minor errors (instead of "your father and mine, perhaps," the original reads "your father and mine, as well", and instead of "it was never pleasing to smile", "it was never generous to smile"). The same passage is quoted from more briefly at
