Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could help me with where I could find a greek version of the text - "be strong, saith my heart; I am a soldier; I have seen sights worse than this" - which is from the 11th book of the Iliad. Many thanks

Just read the 11th book of the Iliad, and you will find out that your quote does not exist. Therefore, there is no Greek original of this.
If a web site says that this is a quote from Homer, you must write them and complain. Be cautious; there are too many web sites you can not trust. |

Hi, thanks for letting me know! It is actually from a fictional book so I guess they made it up, it says its when Odysseus is alone on enemy territory but I guess it all could have been made up. many thanks. |

No, it seems to have been invented for the needs of a modern book. |
