Nah, seems more like Homeros. We can imagine Achilleus yelling this at Paris for shooting a poisoned arrow in his heel.

I believe it was originally in Dante's inferno, Canto 22: -

"Lo avrebbero fatto ugualmente se non fosse per quei capretti pesky."

[imaditzyreader]

thats whatthe bad guy in candy land says when the kids win....I think

[chmpman]

I think that sentiment can be traced back to the Bible, New Testament. Good ol' Jesus and his wonderful insight.

[Fontainhas]

Ermmmmm........Hermann Hesse??? :lol:

[Stismet]

Why, Shakespeare, of course. The Ghost of Hamlet's father utters that incredibly famous line.

[bluevictim]

Interesting. Maybe Dante was quoting Homer. The following appeared in a recently discovered papyrus fragment:

καὶ κεν ἐλάνθανον ὦκ' εἰ οἶδε νεοί μὴ πέσκον

(transliterated into Roman letters for the font-challenged:
kai ken elanthanon wk ei oide neoi mh peskon)

Perhaps this is a deeply rooted Indo-European sentiment.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

This cuneiform tablet clearly has the partial phrase, "sa-Di-Da-aK IN-a-oN T'di-ni-nI Pe-sKi" (thou cursed children of Pe-sKi) visible in the lower right hand corner. For years, Pe-sKi has been believed to be a tribal war-god - but maybe there is another explanation?

hmmm A Series of Unfortunate Events?

[Whifflingpin]

"the partial phrase, "sa-Di-Da-aK IN-a-oN T'di-ni-nI Pe-sKi" (thou cursed children of Pe-sKi)"

Curious that they used the singular form of the pronoun. Did they not have a plural form, "Ye cursed children etc.," or is the noun in fact a kind of collective noun, as "thou cursed children-ness of Pe-ski?"

I merely ask, out of curiosity.

Actually the singular ending 'aK' has been deduced from a fragmented part of the text. Some translaters suggest that this is not actually a part of the preceding word-group, but actually the beginning of the word aK-toT-tO, or 'hound' - but why this should make up part of the phrase is unclear. :nod:

[imaditzyreader]

so when Miss Gluch in the Wixard of Oz says "Ack, Toto," she is saying hound in thatlanguage? Interesting

Of course. Gluch is a Sumerian name.

Jokes, apart- and though I think this is a crazy thread and I love the heiroglyphics and cueniform etc etc, mine IS the right answer you know- just in case any one is interested, that is!
