Homer Quotes

"I will lose all my honor now
among the immortals, now there are mortal men
who show me no respect – Phaeacians, too,
born of my own loins! I said myself
that Odysseus would suffer long and hard
before he made it home, but I never dreamed
of blocking his return, not absolutely at least,
once you had pledged your word and bowed your head.
But now they’ve swept him across the sea in their swift ship,
they’ve set him down in Ithaca, sound asleep, and loaded the man
with boundless gifts – bronze and hoards of gold and robes –
aye, more plunder than he could ever have won from Troy."

– Homer
