Iliad Quotes

“Even a fool learns something once it hits him.”
― Homer, Iliad

“Here, therefore, huge and mighty warrior though you be, here shall you die.”
― Homer, Iliad

“Think not to match yourself against the gods, for men that walk the earth cannot hold their own with the immortals.”
― Homer, Iliad

“Vain is your boast in that you have scratched the sole of my foot... A worthless coward can inflict but a light wound. When I wound a man, though I but graze his skin, it is another matter, for my weapon will lay him low. His wife will tear her cheeks out for grief and his children will be fatherless: there he will rot, reddening the earth with his blood, and vultures, not women, will gather round him.”
― Homer, Iliad
