Who says the following and why? "The belly's a shameless dog, there's nothing worse. Always insisting, pressing, it never lets us forget— destroyed as I am, my heart racked with sadness, sick with anguish, still it keeps demanding 'Eat, drink!' " *

This is a quote by Odysseus. From the book The Odyssey by Homer.

It was a counter to a statement made by Alcinous. Alcinous was wanting to be done with the feasting and send his guess home. But, King Odysseus wanted to finish his dinner, so hence the quote above.

Hope this helps. :)
