costar un ojo de la cara 44
The phrase represents the enormous cost that has a well. It originates in the American conquest when the adelantado Diego de Almagro lost an eye from a crush during a battle against the incas; by what later coined the phrase " defend the interests of the Crown has cost me an arm and face ". Another oldest antecedent is in Norse mythology, where Odin paid with his left eye for the sum of knowledge.
