A Stranger in a Strange Land
Homer, Odyssey 7.24-26 (tr. A.T. Murray):
Newer› ‹Older
For I am come hither a stranger sore-tried
from afar, from a distant country; wherefore I know no one
of the people who possess this city and land.
καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ ξεῖνος ταλαπείριος ἐνθάδ᾽ ἱκάνω
τηλόθεν ἐξ ἀπίης γαίης· τῷ οὔ τινα οἶδα 25
ἀνθρώπων, οἳ τήνδε πόλιν καὶ γαῖαν ἔχουσιν.
