More quotes by Homer
It is not good to have a rule of many.
Homer

Homer
Like a girl, a baby running after her mother, begging to be picked up, and she tugs on her skirts, holding her back as she tries to hurry off—all tears, fawning up at her, till she takes her in her arms… That’s how you look, Patroclus, streaming live tears.
Homer

Homer

Homer

Which would you rather be, a conqueror in the Olympic games, or the crier that proclaims who are conquerors?

Achilles absent was Achilles still!
Homer
A young man is embarrassed to question an older one.
Homer
They did not know her-gods are hard for mortals to recognize.
Homer
Why, you could wake up dead tomorrow
Homer
If any man obeys the gods, they listen to him also.
Homer
The strong must protect the sweet.
Homer
In youth and beauty, wisdom is but rare!
