«For example, in Homer's day, sexual satisfaction was equal to the satisfaction of one's appetite for food today. They lived to a point where pleasure was taken to a very high degree ? there was no limit ? wine was the best and food was the best. And that's where we get that idea of classic beauty. Helen had the face that launched 1,000 ships. Her physical beauty had pushed the envelope to the nth degree.»

«Within his stories there are textual references to blind storytellers, remember Homer (the Homers) may not have existed at all. If this was one man, the fact that he could remember such complex stories and legends and tell them with a single, embedded story line is remarkable.
