Homer says
gasteras ["bellies"] not
koilias ["abdomens"] throughout.
And a proverb: "you cite for me the belly, noblest reproach of all, when full it is lighter, but heavy when empty;" [applied] to those who are gluttonous.[1]
David called the storehouse of reasonings "the belly": "My eye was troubled in spirit, my soul and my belly."[2]
