About
Homer
Homer (Ancient Greek: Ὅμηρος) is best known as the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey. He was believed by the ancient Greeks to have been the first and greatest of the epic poets. Author of the first known literature of Europe, he is central to the Western canon.
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.
For a friend with an understanding heart is worth no less than a brother
Ἀφρήτωρ ἀθέμιστος ἀνέστιός ἐστιν ἐκεῖνος ὃς πολέμου ἔραται ἐπιδημίου ὀκρυόεντος.
