Help me stop being a brainlet please.
I fell for the meme and started with the Greeks. So far, I have finished Mythology by Hamilton, the Iliad and the Odyssey, currently I'm reading pic related. While I enjoyed Homer's work and also enjoying Herodotus' little anecdotes so far I always have the feeling that I'm missing something. I read the stories, highlight stuff, make notes, see different themes (kleos, nostos, destiny) but never experience eye-opening moments. After finishing the Illiad and the Odyssey I didn't have the feeling that I became a smarter/ more educated person. Am I expecting too much or am I getting filtered without realizing it? I don't just wanna read old shit for the sake of it but actually learn something from it. But how do I do so?
