t. Didn't read the Odyssey
The Trojans didn't think the horse was a gift given in capitulation, instead, they thought it was an offering to the gods for a safe trip back to Greece so, naturally, they took it as a war trophy.

>>11618789
Achaeans did nothing wrong.

>>11618789
They wanted Brad Pitt and Sean Bean to come out so they could get selfies with them

>>11618835
>we never got that Sean Bean kino sequel

>>11618830
>the Odyssey
um

>>11618846
>how do i out myself as knowing literally nothing about the greek epics
Go back to watching Troy

>>11618841
would have been based but too much CGI capeshit type heroics. I respect them for recognizing the Iliad as the superior tale and stopping there

>>11618846
I know this isn't bait but if it was it could've been the best one I've encountered this year.

>>11618846
summertiiiiime when the livin's ez

Not literature related

>>11618830
The Trojan horse was in the Iliad you retard. Has literally anyone here read it?

>>11618891
This is actually good bait, because it seems like awful bait, and that’s when people fall into the trap of calling it weak bait and reply without realizing they have been baited.
Or maybe it goes even deeper and I am the one being baited.

>>11618891
>has literally anyone here read it?
Oh god, the irony. Please be bait.

>>11618910
>when people fall into the trap of calling it weak bait
i actually sincerely hope there are not people who spend their time crafting this kind of bait, because that level of petty rusery signals something dire about the state of human interaction

>>11618830
Horse was from Iliad.

>>11618868
Underrated

That's nice and all, but what was King Priam's tax policy?

>>11618841
Sean Bean being sadly too old, I think Ewan Mcgregor would do a great job as Odysseus. Also I unironically would enjoy Wes Anderson directing it. Forgive the shit taste, I’m high as fuck and just watched Christopher Robin and saw Isle of Dogs last week. I also recently fucked a girl who smoked tobacco and I’m still disgusted by the fact that her cunt tasted like an ashtray.

>>11618941
Muh worldbuilding.

>>11618946
>not having a smoking fetish
>>>/lgbt/

>>11618946
>has sex with female(s)
>is on 4chan

>>11618949
I think smoking can be hot. But she just tasted gross and had a really mediocre body. I had just broken up with someone else and needed to put my dick somewhere to vent my anger.

>>11618954
You’re not seriously trying to tell me that you’re a virgin, right? I think of all the guys I graduated with only one is still a virgin.

>>11618964
hah! o-of course not! i get laid ALL the time!! lot of women in my life, i can take my pick!

Why didn't Zeus just depopulate the world over time by modifying everyone's fertility rates?

>>11618972
not a big deal to be a virgin man, don't listen to what that anon says. don't obsess over it, you should learn how to pick up girls, but don't make it a whole thing in your life, it is just one part.

>>11618974
Because that bitchy cunt Hera had him by the balls.

>>11618976
I don’t think it’s a big deal. I just find it honestly hard to believe. Good for him, honestly. Sex is complicated and can be a bummer after the deed is done. There’s nothin g wrong with waiting until you’re ready.

>>11618924
you're acting like the retardation that runs rampant on 4chan is the same retardation that runs rampant in reality

same shit, different brand.

>>11618891
I bet nobody here can even remembers the way Achilles was killed in the Iliad either. They probably only remember that needlessly long chapter on shirtless wrestling at the end

>>11618860
>>11618864
>>11618868
I can tell by these responses that you're very proud of yourselves for having read the Fagles Homer last year. Truly the uneducated pleb deserves to be looked down upon, lmao

>>11619536
he got hiv right?

Troy had some kino fight scenes. Except for brad pitt doing that gay ass signature move over and over. End was a little rushed though.

>>11620005
>projecting this hard

>>11618830
retard
>>11618789
because you read a crude old book about people in funny hats killing each other for no particular reason which was written 3k years ago. nowadays there are more refined books in fantasy genre, but in order to enjoy them you first need to stop being a pseud

The Greeks were cowards who exploited the superior virtue of the Trojans. Read the Aeneid.

>>11620005
oddly specific...

>>11621348
>>11620126
I hit the jackpot didn't I? Fucking idiots

>>11620005
You're the retard who didn't know. Don't get so embarrassed and aggressive.

>>11621353
nah, I prefer Lattimore

>>11618964
I think he’s saying he’s gay. Only logical explanation for being a virgin past 16.

>>11618789
Dumber things have happened in actual, historic warfare.
