City of God was pretty neat, and my favorite roman is Julian.

ive only recently heard of this author and i'm quite fond of their titles

From The Iliad:
>“Sing , goddess, the anger of Peleus’ son Achilleus
>and its devastation, which put pains thousandfold upon the Achians,
>hurled in their multitudes to the house of Hades strong souls
>of heroes, but gave their bodies to be the delicate feasting
>of dogs, of all birds, and the will of Zeus was accomplished
>since that time when first there stood in division of conflict
>Atreus’ son the lord of men and brilliant Achilleus.”

From The Odyssey:
>“Tell me, Muse, of the man of many ways, who was driven
>far journeys, after he had sacked Troy’s sacred citadel.
>many were they whose cities he saw, whose minds he learned of,
>many the pains he suffered in his spirit on the wide sea,
>struggling for his own life and the homecoming of his companions.
>Even so he could not save his companions, hard though
>he strove to; they were destroyed by their own wild recklessness,
>fools, who devoured the oxen of Helios, the Sun God,
>and he took away the day of their homecoming. From some point
>here, goddess, daughter of Zeus, speak, and begin our story.”

From Virgil’s The Aeneid:
>“Arms, and the man I sing, who, forced by fate,
>And haughty Juno’s unrelenting hate,
>Expell’d and Exil’d, left the Trojan shore.
>Long labors, both by sea and land, he bore,
>And in the doubtful war, before he won
>The Latian realm, and built the destined town;
>His banish’d gods restored to rites divine,
>And settled sure succession in his line,
>From whence the race of Alban fathers come,
>And the long glories of majestic Rome.
O Muse! the causes and the crimes relate;
>Whar goddess was provok’d, and whence her hate;
>For what offense the Queen of Heav’n began
>To persecute so brave, so just a man;
>Involv’d his anxious life in endless cares,
>Expos’d to wants, and hurried into wars!
>Can heav’nly minds such high resentment show,
>Or exercise Their spite in human woe?”

Cause it’s boring there. What interesting thing has ever happened in Norway or Sweden? Did Henkel fuck a sheep that one time?
