Additional quotes by Homer

But now, as it is, sorrows, unending sorrows must surge within your heart as well — for your own son’s death. Never again will you embrace him stiding home. My spirit rebels — I’ve lost the will to live, to take my stand in the world of men —

My life is more to me than all the wealth of Ilius

Εἰ δέ τίς ἐσσι βροτῶν οἳ ἀρούρης καρπὸν ἔδουσιν,
ἆσσον ἴθ' ὥς κεν θᾶσσον ὀλέθρου πείραθ' ἵκηαι.
