Homer Quotes

"I’m right here,
here in the flesh – myself – and home at last,
after bearing twenty years of brutal hardship.
Now I know that of all my men you two alone
longed for my return. From the rest I’ve heard
not one real prayer that I come back again.
So now I’ll tell you what’s in store for you.
If a god beats down the lofty suitors at my hands,
I’ll find you wives, both of you, grant you property,
sturdy houses beside my own, and in my eyes you’ll be
comrades to Prince Telemachus, brothers from then on.
Come, I’ll show you something – living proof –
know me for certain, put your minds at rest.
This scar,
look, where a boar’s white tusk gored me, years ago,
hunting on Parnassus, Autolycus’ sons and I."

– Homer
