Homer's whole language, the language in which he lived, the language that he breathed, because he never saw it, or certainly those who formed his tradition never saw it, in characters on the pages. It was all on the tongue and in the ear.

  • -- Robert Fitzgerald 罗伯特·菲茨杰拉德

荷马的全部语言,他所生活的语言,他所呼吸的语言,因为他从来没有见过,或者那些形成他传统的人从来没有见过,写在书页上的文字。一切都在口头上,都在耳中。
