Help on a quote?

Question:"What greater grief than the loss of ones native land?"
-euriprides

im guessing it means that there is nothing worse than losing where you came form but im not quite sure... help??

Answers:
It's a double entandre, i think. It expresses both the grief of exile and also it seems to express the sorrow of loss of you culture, clan, and home through a war or some similar event destroying your city or kingdom, as it may be.
Think about it like this. If you take a carrot out of the ground - its home - it's not alive and its not a plant anymore everyone thinks its food. Losing your home changes you and usually (almost always) for the worst. Leaving home should be a choice because its hard enough when you do it willingly
