Only if I could into iambic pentameter. Or craft a simile as beautifully as Homer. But you get the idea.

I posted this guy in another thread recently. I love this type of music for reading Greek lit and philosophy. There's no real melody, it just kind of peacefully meanders so it's not distracting at all. He has tons of albums on Spotify.

Who are the best English translators of the Greeks, /lit/? Curious to hear your reasons why.

If any lesson is to be learned from the Epic Cycle, its that women fucking suck.

>The entire war was fought for the sake of a woman
>Patroclus, and subsequently Achilles, died as a result of a dispute over a woman
>Agamemnon was killed by his cheating wife
>Diomed got cheated on
>Athena, a godess, was a petty bitch all throughout the story and was really only seething so hard because Paris chose Aphrodite over her
Learn from their faults fellas
