Heimat

Euripides, Phoenician Women 406-407 (tr. Robin Waterfield):
JOCASTA
It seems, then, that there is nothing more dear to people than the country of their birth.

POLYNICES
You couldn't even express how dear it is.

ΙΟΚΑΣΤΗ
ἡ πατρίς, ὡς ἔοικε, φίλτατον βροτοῖς.

ΠΟΛΥΝΕΙΚΗΣ
οὐδ᾿ ὀνομάσαι δύναι᾿ ἂν ὡς ἐστὶν φίλον.
