That would be the Illiad.

>>17307810
It is honestly incredible

This is not the Bible, anon.

Lmao saint agostine, a useless dead man, who when alive wasted his years with writings on a mythical creature . . what an idiot. And now he’s been dead for how long? His body quickly dissolved into putrid matter and for what? Lmao he didnt even enjoy his life

>4 posters
you are either the OP, the Iliad poster, or the Bible poster. OP and Bible seems unlikely, but why would Iliadposter get so angry all of a sudden. Are you OP setting up bait?

>>17307830
The Bible doesn't count. It's obviously the greatest book ever written. Next to the bible, The Confessions is the greatest book

Hateful little gremlin doomed to masturbate forever in Plato's cave. I truly pity you.

This doesn't look like Paradise Lost.

he is immortalized on the soul of humanity, and you are a digitized wisp being propelled into the void.

The poster you're replying to is obviously living in sin and plagued by guilt as a result. As a consequence said poster makes hateful bigoted comments into the aether saying nothing of value, merely to feed the miserable demons which live in his heart with intellectually lazy vitriol.

>>17307878
One of the most overrated poems in English literature. Milton was too in love with his own erudition to write anything with true feeling, the whole poem reads like a flex on the plebs and leaves me cold. Too learned, too Latinate. The Confessions came straight from the heart.

>>17307888
Yeah but he didn't add to the poster count, and I was one of the posts, so he has to be OP, Iliadposter, or Bibleposter. I am quite afraid anon

>>17307869
Nah i’m a new poster but it’s interesting that there was samefagging in this thread. Judging by the shit literature thAt was mentioned, i’m not surprised

>>17307872
Wow plato’s cave.. youre so smart and edgy anon. Did the middle school books you recently read free you from the chains? Thanks for the pity

>>17307848
Only the willfully ignorant will dismiss the Bible and religious literature as sky daddy worship or something to "dab on the mentally ill christcucks." You won't have a good understanding of time and ethics as understood in the west that way

>>17307895
>youre so smart
Yes
>Did the middle school books you recently read free you from the chains?

Im having a panic attack over here

>>17307904
Wow thanks anon I’ve never heard this before. You just blew my mind
Get to reading the Scriptures then. I’m sure this very original idea you had will give you a good understanding of whatever it is you think is important to understand! As a bonus, you will be able to reference unknown Bible passages which will impress everyone! but make sure to take notes

>>17307929
The smug ironic tone of your post just makes me think you're bitter and in pain, anon. If you weren't so arrogant and tried reading the Bible and not dismissing it out of hand, you might just actually feel better, you know.

it's very gay

>>17307810
Isn't it Mahabharata?

>>17307848
epic savage moment

>>17307810
Plato?

>>17307889

Pretty silly to judge an epic, Renaissance-type work by anachronistic Romantic values like "feeling".

You don't think Milton wrote with feeling when you read the Book that depicts the Fall? It was the most nerve wracking experience I've ever had with literature, even though I knew the Fall was inevitable. It's like watching a Greek tragedy, you see it coming but you hold out for its prevention up to the end.

what translation did you read
