Ἦ καὶ κυανέῃσιν ἐπ' ὀφρύσι νεῦσε Κρονίων·
ἀμβρόσιαι δ' ἄρα χαῖται ἐπεῤῥώσαντο ἄνακτος
κρατὸς ἀπ' ἀθανάτοιο· μέγαν δ' ἐλέλιξεν Ὄλυμπον.

Additional quotes by Homer

Let him submit to me! Only the god of death is so relentless, Death submits to no one — so mortals hate him most of all the gods. Let him bow down to me! I am the greater king, I am the elder-born, I claim — the greater man.

There is no greater fame for a man than that which he wins with his footwork or the skill of his hands.

The Odyssey of Homer, trans. William Cowper (1791)

Ἦ καὶ κυανέῃσιν ἐπ' ὀφρύσι νεῦσε Κρονίων· ἀμβρόσιαι δ' ἄρα χαῖται ἐπεῤῥώσαντο ἄνακτος κρατὸς ἀπ' ἀθανάτοιο· μέγαν δ' ἐλέλιξεν Ὄλυμπον. - Homer
