>I'm pretty disappointed by Latin literature so far
I never understood why Arabic, Chinese, Sanskrit, and even Hebrew were so well maintained into the modern era and yet Latin was seemingly put down like a sick dog in the West over the last few centuries. Now it's pretty clear to me that anything worth reading was burnt or forgotten. I remember reading about one of the only copies of a particular work of Cicero being scribbled over by a Christian monk who wanted to make the millionth copy of Augistine's City of God - a work about how the fall of Rome doesn't matter because the afterlife is more important and this life is a meanings waiting room for heaven. I hate to turn this into a Christcuck rant, but once Christianity declined in the west, it dragged Latin down with it into obscurity. Nobody cares anymore to read theologians arguing about whether or not Jesus defecated nor do we need the trinity re-litigated and explained with more shitty analogies to defend it from accusations of polytheism. It's all so tiresome. I'm not huge into poetry, but I'm going to try to pivot into attempting to read poetry and satire. I can't have wasted all my time for Suetonius' gossip and Caesar's troop movements.
