Quotes

For they imagined as they wished--that it was a wild shot,/ an unintended killing--fools, not to comprehend/ they were already in the grip of death./ But glaring under his brows Odysseus answered:'You yellow dogs, you thought I'd never make it/ home from the land of Troy. You took my house to plunder,/ twisted my maids to serve your beds. You dared/ bid for my wife while I was still alive./ Contempt was all you had for the gods who rule wide heaven,/ contempt for what men say of you... Homer
Rage - Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus' son Achilles, murderous, doomed, that cost the Achaeans countless losses, hurling down to the House of Death so many sturdy souls, great fighters' souls, but made their bodies carrion, feasts for the dogs and birds, and the will of Zeus was moving toward its end. Begin, Muse, when the two first broke and clashed, Agamemnon lord of men and brilliant Achilles. Homer
Do not beg me by knees or by parents you dog! I only wish I were savagely wrathful enough to hack up your corpse and eat it raw Homer
Sing, goddess, of Achilles' ruinous anger. Which brought ten thousand pains to the Achaeans, And cast the souls of many stalwart heroes. To Hades, and their bodies to the dogs. And birds of prey. Homer
Homer quote: "As I lay dying, the woman with the dog's eyes would not close..."
As I lay dying, the woman with the dog's eyes would not close my eyes as I descended into Hades. Homer
