From Book 17, when Odysseus is back on Ithaca, pretending to be a beggar and discussing his return to his mansion to face the humiliation of the suitors:
"I've had my share of pain in the waves and wars.
Add this to the total. Bring the trial on.
But there's no way to hide the belly's hungers--
what a curse, what mischief it brews in all our lives!
Just for hunger we rig and ride our long benched ships
on the barren salt sea, speeding death to our enemies."
Well, I am heading to Nashville for a business trip today. 😎
