Most Read This Week In Greece

From The Saviors of God (1927; English 1960):

Homer and His Iliad

Nikos Kazantzakis
An ardent desire to go took possession of me once more. Not because I wanted to leave - I was quite all right on this Cretan coast, and felt happy and free there and I needed nothing - but because I have always been consumed with one desire; to touch and see as much as possible of the earth and the sea before I die.

Homer, The Iliad
