Start With the Greeks = Secret Gay Conversion Technique. Reading Greeks is a surefire way to turn anyone into a faggy lil' buttboy. We here at /lit/, that is, the e/lit/e, the ones who have been here since at least 2010, the ones who cook up all the spicy memes, we are all uber gay, no, not regular gay, uber gay, gay to be ubermenschian extreme, and we want turn everyone into our nubile, assfuckable buttboys.

Pick up a copy of "Classics of Western Philosophy" and you should be good to go.

Surprised no one knows. I guess I’m the last oldfag standing (sitting)

To understand the western canon and pick up all their allusions and alliterations one needs to start with the beginning. Old biblefags used to butt in with their forced ill fitting lore, but now we’re so flooded with them all we see is closeted homosexuals ( >>19445143 ) and Nazi larpers.

And the philosophy fags! They assume it means only Athenian philosophy, but no, fuck that.
Start with the Five Hs. Hesiod, Homeric Hymns, Homer, Heraclitus, Herodotus.

Healthy young man starts with the Greeks, gets pumped with massive shot of many Platonic dialogues, doesn't feel good and changes - HOMOSEXUALITY. Many such cases!

Newfags don’t know lit culture. We had dozens of well read trip users back in the good years

>>19446475
Literally how bisexuals come out. Not every male who reads from the gayest of greek lit turns homo
