blackswaneuroparedux: Ὡς ἔρις ἔκ τε θεῶν ἔκ τ’ ἀνθρώπων ἀπόλοιτοκαὶ χόλος, ὅς τ’ ἐφέηκε πολύφρονά περ χαλεπῆναι,ὅς τε πολὺ γλυκίων μέλιτος καταλειβομένοιοἀνδρῶν ἐν στήθεσσιν ἀέξεται ἠΰτε καπνός. - Homer, The Iliad If only strife could die from the lives of gods and menand anger that drives the sanest man to flare in outrage -bitter gall, sweeter than dripping streams of honey,that swarms in people’s chests and blinds like smoke.**Words spoken by Achilles. Translation by Robert Fagles. Illustration for The Wooden Horse - The Legend of the Fall by Eberhard and Elfriede Binder. -- source link
