A Man of Constant Sorrow
Homer, Odyssey 7.211-212 (Odysseus speaking; tr. Peter Green):
Newer› ‹Older
Whoever you know of mankind that shoulder the heaviest load
of grief, to them I might liken myself in my sorrows.
οὕς τινας ὑμεῖς ἴστε μάλιστ’ ὀχέοντας ὀιζὺν
ἀνθρώπων, τοῖσίν κεν ἐν ἄλγεσιν ἰσωσαίμην.
