On Homer – A. "Wast thou a Chian?" B. "I say No." A. "What then, a Smyrnian?" B. "I deny it." A. "Was either Cyme or Colophon thy native place,Homer?" B. "Neither." A. "But tell me thyself where thou wast born." B. "I will not." A. "Wherefore?" B. "I know for sure that if I tell the truth, I shall make the other cities my enemies."
On Homer –If Homer be a god, let him be honoured as one of the gods; but if again he be not a god, let him be believed to be a god.
On Homer – Nature produced him; she produced him by a mighty effort, and after bearing him she ceased from her labour, having spent all her care on Homer alone.
On Homer – Thou art besung, Homer, for all ages and from all ages for having won thee the glory of the heavenly Muse. For thou didst sing the wrath of Achilles and the confusion of the Greek ships whirled hither and thither on the sea, and Odysseus, the subtle-minded, worn out by his wanderings, the husband that Penelope rejoiced to see again.
On Homer – Who has not heard of the mighty voice of Homer? What land, what sea, does not know of the Grecian battle? The people of the Cimmerians, lacking the rays of the all-seeing Sun, has heard the name of Troy; Atlas has heard it, Atlas on whose shoulders broad-bosomed heaven rests.
On Homer – By telling the burnt city's story, Homer, thou hast allowed unsacked cities to envy her fate.
– from Book XVI (Epigrams of the Planudean Anthology) in the Greek Anthology, translated and edited by W.R. Paton (1918)
