son in pain quotesThe Odyssey question? Pleeeease help!?

I found this quote online, about the Odyssey. I don't know where to find it. What book is it in? I tried looking in Book 19, but I can't seem to find it. Help me, please?

"Just as I have come from afar, creating pain for many--men and women across the good green earth--so let hson in pain quotesis name be Odysseus… the Son of Pain, a name he'll earn in full." (Homer 19:460-465)
The closest thing I can find is what Autolycus says in the narration: "'In the course of my lifetime I have made enemies of many a man and woman up and down the world wide. So let this child be called son in pain quotesOdysseus, "victim of enmity".'"
It precedes the part where Odysseus receives his scar from the bull.

My copy of the book is from 1972, though, so it could just be that you have an updated translation, or that I'm wrong xP
