Epimenides was sent by his father into the field to look for a sheep,
turned out of the road at mid-day and lay down in a certain cave and
fell asleep, and slept there fifty-seven years; and after that, when
awake, he went on looking for the sheep, thinking that he had been
taking a short nap.
-- Diogenes Laertius (c. 200 AD)
-- Epimenides, ii
