Mediterranean

“No man has ever yet sailed past us with his dark ship | without staying to hear the sweet sound of the voices that come from our mouths, | and he who listens will not only experience great pleasure before homecoming but will also be far more knowledgeable than before, | for we know [idmen] everything that happened at Troy, that expansive place, | – all the sufferings caused by the gods for the Argives [= Achaeans] and Trojans | and we know [idmen] everything on earth, that nurturer of so many mortals – everything that happens.”

Homer, Odyssey 10.186–191 (trans. Gregory Nagy)
