Homer on War

← Back to Homer Profile
I war not with the dead.
Homer
So ends the bloody business of the day.
Homer
It is not right to exult over slain men.
Homer
The chance of war Is equal, and the slayer oft is slain.
Homer
Cursed is the man, and void of law and right, Unworthy property, unworthy light, Unfit for public rule, or private care, That wretch, that monster, who delights in war;
Homer
Take thou thy arms and come with me, For we must quit ourselves like men, and strive To aid our cause, although we be but two. Great is the strength of feeble arms combined, And we can combat even with the brave.
Homer
