“The Discobolus is put here because he is vulgar — He has neither vest nor pants with which to cover his limbs.”
“Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.”
“Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another.”
