Ignore my guess.

[donny48]

I can't parse Homer so ignore unless you can parse, Mamya.

[blaris]

Homer is right I think. Phrase "even Homer nods" from latin? And Iliad etc

[sandyRoe]

The Odyssey was an epic but don't see where nodding off comes into it.

Thanks for answers
if 28a is hard at work ,24d can't be wages as it's ?a?k?

[sandyRoe]

I do now.
Thank you, Blaris.

[donny48]

I am not good with Latin, just assumed Homer from the letters given plus "such epic efforts"
