my lords, and suitors of the famous queen.
One thing I have to say.
There is no pain, no burden for the heart
when blows come to a man, and he defending
his own cattle – his own cows and lambs.
Here it was otherwise. Antinous
hit me for being driven on by hunger –
how many bitter seas men cross for hunger!
If beggars interest the gods, if there are Furies pent in the dark to avenge a poor man's wrong, then may
Antinous meet his death before his wedding day!"
–The Odyssey,
Homer
