I downloaded fagles translation of the illiad to read on my old paperwhite because I'm poor, my problem is that it reads like a novelisation. I thought it was supposed to be in verse form?

okay ill look at it but I was told fagles was verse form, so I am very confused, do ebook readers mess up formatting in general?

>>12837619
It is in verse, sorta. Free verse.

>ordered copies of the Iliad and odyssey

>just read odyssey
This was like two years ago and I still haven’t read the damned thing

>>12836878
I'm reading the Illiad right now. Is there something I should be aware of beforehand?

>>12837147
Oh yes we all love reading The Illiad and The Odyssey without the insight provided by Ovid’s Metamorphosis.
>Have you ever studied how we Greek plays made it to your contemporary time period?

>>12837304
Check out MIT’s library of digital classics. I believe they have a public domain version of The Illiad in verse form.

You should be warned about how favoritism is only good when you’re getting it and no one else.
Also Aphrodite gets Begone thotted and thats kinda fun

>>12836878

The book where Dionysus goes on his insane rampage is my favorite in the entire poem. He wounds not one, but TWO gods, in addition to all the mortals he kills.

>>12838541
underrated

>>12838588
You mean Diomedes?

>>12838588
>Dionysus
Do you mean Aries? I don't remember Dionysus going on a rampage

>>12838602
Fuck. FUCK. Yes, I meant Diomedes. That was embarrassing.

It's okay, anon. I got in an argument once that lasted half an hour before I realized I had gotten my authors mixed up.

>>12836878
Why would the shenanigans of literally backward primitives descendants of steppenigs be of any literary value?

Ancient greeks more like ancient primitives lmao

>>12838866
go to >>>/his/ and don't come back

>>12839057
That's a literary argument i put forth not a historical one. Why do people keep cherishing the stories of what primitive ancient greeks did and thought? How do people buy into any of that?

23. Then why did I loathe Greek literature, which has tunes for the same kind of tale? Homer knew how to weave the same spells, just as pleasantly trivial, yet he repelled me as a boy. I suppose Greek boys would feel the same about Virgil, if they were forced to con him as I conned Homer. It is hard, very hard, to pick up a foreign language—for me, this dashed with bitterness all the sweet Greek nonsense. I was ignorant of the words, and violent threats and acts were used to make me learn them.

25. ...Was it not from you, Society, that I learned how Jove is both thunderer and adulterer? He could not really be both, but he was portrayed as both, so that real adultery could be indulged with fictitious thunder serving as its pimp. What gowned rhetorician can take it seriously when his fellow, who breathes the same court air, says: Homer in his fictions made gods behave like humans, but I prefer for humans to behave like gods? Well, in fact, Homer did create fictions precisely to give divine sanction to human vice, so vice would not seem vicious, and those indulging it could claim to be following the example of gods on high, not of lowliest men.

Thanks for the filters.

Fagles is formatted as verse, it's probably the ebook fucking up.

Orgonomy is the study of orgone energy. It was discovered through inquiry into the quantitative problem of libido which was abandoned by psychoanalysis. The ego was shown to be equivalent to an exoskeleton of chronic muscular contractions and the id was shown to be a fundamental biological energy which these contractions repressed. Orgone not only exists in the body but in the atmosphere and the cosmos at large.

The most fundamental tool in orgonomy is subjective visceral sensation. To cultivate this skill, you must viscerally express repressed emotions with actions such as weeping, kicking and screaming. The id's pulsions are identical to currents of orgone energy emanating forth from the interior or the organism. The ego's repression of these pulsions consists of their diametric reversal towards the interior through muscle armoring, chronic muscle contractions. The armored organism is trapped in a subject/object false dichotomy because it cannot acknowledge the hypostatic energy which unites it with the external. Since orgone is identical to libido, and the ego is an anti-libidinal structure, orgone cannot be observed until the repressed, viz orgonotic currents, is integrated with the subjective observer through the expression of the repressed.

its uhhh.. one “L” buddy

Holy shit that's so interesting. Thank you.

>>12840354
It is my pleasure. Thank you for your interest. For more information on this, I suggest Ether God and Devil, although a prerequisite reading of The Function of the Orgasm may be necessary.

Orgonomy has huge implications for philosophy, especially idealism, because of the insights it has shed on perception. I suspect the world of representation results from sexual repression, because upon the dissolution of armoring, orgonotic phenomena are readily perceived. The equivalence of a characterological defense mechanism and the pulsion it represses revealed an identity shared by the ego and the id. The discovery of muscle armoring and biological energy revealed an identity shared by the body and mind. The discovery of atmospheric orgone revealed an identity shared by man and the cosmos. Orgone energy is noumenal, but the armored character cannot perceive it.

/lit/ book club reading the Iliad rn if anyone's interested
