Andra moi ennepe, mousa, poloutropon, 'os mala
Maybe 3 of you will recognize the title line (and using English letters to imitate the Ionic didn't help, did it?)
Well, you can have the translation from IowaHawk, who does a DAMN good job with Homer.
Considering that the first line of Homer's Iliad begins as follows:
ReplyDeleteMenin aeide, Thea, Peleliadeo Achilleos
It follows that the quoted line must be the first line of the Odyssey
On the other hand, though, thanks for the reference to Iowahawk, who has done a masterful job of lampooning Obamacles.
Yes, it is the Odyssey. "Tell me, of the man...o Muse," etc.
