/lit/ - Literature

What /lit/erature would the disciples have had access to? Some guy in class was reading the Odyssey and stated that because of the similarities of it and the new testament, and due to Alexander the Greats conquests making greek the lingua franca, that the new testament was somehow "derivative" and he used this to back up his athiest beliefs. I then asked if he's read any dialogues, and he said no, and I said there is a great similarity there aswell, but socrates had no exposure to the christian (or at that time judaic) faith or any of the doctrine, but arrived at a similar doctrine through pure reason. But I still don't think the tax collectors and doctors of Judea would have been "well read." I also don't know how well the odyssey circulated outside of greece, and couldn't find anything on it either. Thoughts on his or my's rhetoric during this exchange? I do believe I can out on top, since he was less read in this realm.

the plot follows a group of middle class schoolchildren from 5th grade to the year following high school graduation and charts the solidification of their friendship, their group bond, and its eventual disintegration due to internal conflict and events that bring about a succession of personal enlightenments that run counter to the mythological construct they've built around their own conception of self awareness and brings them towards a confrontation with topos or the seductive trappings of their spatial history. the last two members of the group who remain in their home after high school are forced to reckon with a hostile vitalism in Nature that turns on them as part of a fatalistic reckoning and partake in a series of improvised experimental metaphysics to counter the hauntology of time, fate, and motion.
