>>17489388
Yes, Shakespeare is better than Homer. We know that the entire canonized Iliad and Odyssey that we know today is not the sole product of Homer himself, but that the story underwent massive amounts of edits and additions between the time it was first orated by Homer and first written down.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 8 11:21:32 2021 No.17490076 >>17490009 And that makes Shakespeare better? Homer produced the two greatest epics ever that have lasted thousands of years. He created a tradition out of it. Piss off.
