Read your motherland's works before reading the greeks. The majority of this board revolves around having a hard on for greeks(understandable), russians(understandable, even tho you fucks only read 2 authors) and I don't even fucking know why, but the damn overrated uncreative boring japanese, fucking weebs. Read the works of your land, please. We need more variety of pinions on this shithole. This reeks of nihilistic, existential crisis driven dosto dick sucking teens who listen to podcasts to feel smart. GO READ

I primarily read the literature of the British Isles and America.

The works of my motherland are heavily inspired by a long-cultivated admiration for the Greeks so it's only natural to read the Greeks alongside them. Plus they more or less inspired everyone else. Almost anything I could read was either inspired by important works in my native language, or inspired some of them.

Get meds. Literature is the last medium to be provincial about. Read Greeks and Romans whatever else you do. All the authors from the modernity, of any value, have overcame their 'land' and belong to everyone.

This piece of shit reeks of right wing theistic shit, and that kind belongs to conc-camps.

You need common topics for actual discussion to occur. More people need to read the Greeks, not less. DESU if I could magically make everyone read the Greeks and the Indians I'd be over the moon.

I hath read the Popul Vuh and Miguel Ángel Asturias, Franz Galuch and tried my hand at some other sacred texts but they're dry as fuck; since I consider Spain also from the literary tradition I read Don Quijote and currently read El Cantar del Mio Cid, and once I finish I plan on reading La Odisea y La Iliada, then maybe The Peloponnesan War (or however it was spelled xd) and it's sequel by someone I forgot the name of
