Post yfw realizing that true happines reads in reading good genre fiction. Just the plot, the style, and the words, straightforward and honest without techniques praised by people studying a small set of books for a lifetime.

I wouldn't mind them being here if they knew their position and just lurked.

What is troublesome is the fact that they feel entitled to start threads to showcase their ignorance.

do you really pretend anyone reads the greeks outside a small subset of tenure hunters?

Honestly I find the Greeks more interesting than yet another work of literary fiction about the trials of a literary type or yet another work about a Jewish author's Jewishness.

anon, your Latin based ladies' education is showing; the Greeks are lewd as [Latinate allusion]

>>6655591
i have no idea what you're trying to say, but 'lewd' is not a concept that the greeks aimed at in their celebrated works. you seem to be viewing them through christian morality but again, i have no idea what you wish to say.

>>6655583
well, just because you find a small subset of genre fiction shit doesn't mean it cannot provide more pleasure than yet another romp through ancient world myths and tribulations. thank fuck educated people don't have to endure bible classes anymore so we don't get works of literature clouded with hundreds of sunday school references. bible shit in 18th to early 20th century literature is akin to inserting memes into modern fiction.

Who is "anyone"? The degenerate herd? I don't give a shit about the mediocritising masses that inspire befuddlement in great artistic achievements, it concerns neither me nor that small circle of you people you (or that other guy) mentioned. And why are you even generalising my statement with the Greeks in the first place you cretin? As if all great literary works are limited to the Greeks
