I mostly hate it cause it's part of compulsory education and I had to listen to every faggot's shitty opinion and interpretation of an awesome story and remember the specific one only for the examination.

Never read it, got good marks in English class regarding it anyway.

I preferred Odyssey.

>> No.3345712

Honestly I preferred the Odyssey a whole lot more.

Odysseus was a goddamn badass while Achilles was a pussy, Ajax was cool though.

>> No.3345716

I prefer the Odyssey myself but, if we're talking about the ancient Greeks, it has to be Antigone.

Dude, the Greeks invented being epic. History was so epic that Homer came up and wrote cool stories for bros to read. They were so epic they were called epics.

Arc have you gotten over your rational hatred of Gorgons by finally accepting that they arn't real, and thus as works of fantasy should serve to please the readers and viewers of the art in question?

The Iliad was a cooler war novel, but The Odyssey was a cooler larger-than-life hero story.

Hurp de durp, here comes DUMB OL ARC REPLYING TO A TROLL!!! SO BUTTHURT! I MAD! YES, I AM FRUSTRATED.

Anyway, I never said I hate them. They're just dangerous. Medusa is actually my favorite FSN character next to Saber because of her roots.

I'm just saying that she's used to epic dudes and dudettes who kill Hydras and slaughter mythic monsters while screaming SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA as loudly as possible and quivering with muscle all over.

I.e.

-Αταλάντη[ATALANTA, the female Lancer]
-Hercules
-Perseus
-Kratos
-Achilles

and so on. You think you're as hardcore as a SPARTAN? Well then, she probably wouldn't just snip your head off.

>> No.3345781

I need to reread Homer's works. Been about 5 years since I've read any of them. Main thing I remember of the Iliad, beyond the plot, was that the introduction of each and every character, major and minor, seemed to drag on/. Probably wouldn't be that bad now.

I preferred the Odyssey.

I also preferred the Metamorphoses to the Aeneid.

>> No.3345829

The epithets were too repetitive since the whole thing had to be memorized. The Aeneid, which was initially written, was a lot more gripping, in my opinion.

The 'meaty' parts are just magical filler (it's not the actual body's meat) so it can store magical energy (that is to say semen).
