Phemius asks for his life | od435gen: Phemius: “By your knees I beseech you, Odysseus, and do respect me and have pity; on your own self shall sorrow come hereafter, if you slay the minstrel, who sings to gods and men. Self-taught am I, and the god has planted in my heart all manner of lays, and worthy am I to sing to you as to a god; wherefore be not eager to cut my throat. (Hom.Od.22.344). Bonaventura Genelli (1798 – 1868).
