what pieces of literature would you consider "deep"?

>> No.10398877

None of them. Would be like considering a 2D painting 3D. It is just for fun

I just got done taking a course on the Western Canon. Here are some works that stood out to me in terms of "deepness":
Works and Days, Epic of Gilgamesh, Theatetus, Euthyphro, Hebrew Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Job, Jonah, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes), The Aeneid (more so than the Iliad and Odyssey), New Testament (Luke, John, Paul's Epistles), and Meditations.

Eastern (In order of "deepness"):
Zhuangzi, Xunzi, Mencius
