Odyssey 9.34–36

ὣς οὐδὲν γλύκιον ἧς πατρίδος οὐδὲ τοκήων

γίγνεται, εἴ περ καί τις ἀπόπροθι πίονα οἶκον

γαίῃ ἐν ἀλλοδαπῇ ναίει ἀπάνευθε τοκήων.

So nothing proves sweeter than one’s own country and parents,

even if a man lives far away in a prosperous house

in a foreign land, apart from his parents.
