“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, that delights in war:
Whose lust is murder, and whose horrid joy
To tear his country, and his kind destroy!”

IX. 63–64 (tr. Alexander Pope).
Iliad (c. 750 BC)

“The tongue of man is a twisty thing, there are plenty of words there
of every kind, the range of words is wide, and their variance.”

XX. 248–249 (tr. R. Lattimore).
Iliad (c. 750 BC)
