Frases de Homero

Homero es el nombre dado al aedo griego antiguo a quien tradicionalmente se le atribuye la autoría de las principales poesías épicas griegas: la Ilíada y la Odisea. Desde el período helenístico, se ha cuestionado que el autor de ambas obras épicas fuera la misma persona; sin embargo, antes no solo no existían estas dudas sino que la Ilíada y la Odisea eran considerados relatos históricos reales.

La Ilíada y la Odisea son el pilar sobre el que se apoya la épica grecolatina y, por ende, la literatura occidental.[1]​ Wikipedia

“Men grow tired of sleep, love, singing and dancing, sooner than of war.”

Homér Ilíada

A misquotation http://listserv.linguistlist.org/pipermail/ads-l/2009-August/092648.html of:

Πάντων μὲν κόρος ἐστὶ καὶ ὕπνου καὶ φιλότητος
μολπῆς τε γλυκερῆς καὶ ἀμύμονος ὀρχηθμοῖο,
τῶν πέρ τις καὶ μᾶλλον ἐέλδεται ἐξ ἔρον εἷναι
ἢ πολέμου· Τρῶες δὲ μάχης ἀκόρητοι ἔασιν.

Men get
Their fill of all things, of sleep and love, sweet song
And flawless dancing, and most men like these things
Much better than war. Only Trojans are always
Thirsty for blood!

Iliad, XIII, 636–639 (tr. Ennis Rees)

The misquotation implies that an overweening love of war was the norm, whereas the real quote decries the Trojans as inhumane for keeping the war going.
