Longing for Home

ἀλλὰ καὶ ὣς ἐθέλω καὶ ἐέλδομαι ἤματα πάντα
οἴκαδέ τ᾽ ἐλθέμεναι καὶ νόστιμον ἦμαρ ἰδέσθαι.
εἰ δ᾽ αὖ τις ῥαίῃσι θεῶν ἐνὶ οἴνοπι πόντῳ,
τλήσομαι ἐν στήθεσσιν ἔχων ταλαπενθέα θυμόν:
ἤδη γὰρ μάλα πολλὰ πάθον καὶ πολλὰ μόγησα
κύμασι καὶ πολέμῳ: μετὰ καὶ τόδε τοῖσι γενέσθω.

Yet even so every day I desire and long to reach my home and to see the day of my return. And if some god would break me on the wine-red sea, I shall endure it, as I hold in my breast a soul that endures great afflictions: as before this I have suffered much and endured much in waves and in war; let this be one of those thing.

Homer, Odyssey, V.219-224. My translation.

One's Homeland

Aristophanes, Plutus, 1151:

πατρὶς γάρ ἐστι πᾶσ᾿ ἵν᾿ ἂν πράττῃ τις εὖ.
one's homeland is wherever one prospers well

Cicero, Tusculanae Disputationes,V.108, quoting Pacuvius's lost play Teucer:

patria est, ubicumque est bene
one's homeland is whenever one is well
