>Excerpt from Homer's Odyssey [Fagles trans.]
>Book 15, line 114-119

...while Helen lingered beside the chests,
and there they were, brocaded, beautiful robes
her own hands woven. Queenly Helen,
radiance of women, lifted one from the lot,
the largest, lovely robe and richly worked
and like a star it glistened, deep beneath the others.
Then all three went up and on...

>Wait what? Aren't we still talking about her chest?

So who would you cast in the parts?
I have Weaving here as Odysseus, and Hendricks as Helen

Last bump. Why do shittier threads get all the attention?

>> No.2309948

>>2309933
Because /lit/ is full of pseudos. They are thoroughly uninterested in real literary discussion, so bring on the sensational bullshit.

At this point I would rather talk about tits, so yes, bring it on.

Doing what?
I read a passage from a book and something funny happened to my understanding of it.
Later, I see shit on the front page and bump it.

Later still I see shit on page 0. Bump it again, and then have a brief exchange about Hendricks weight.
Nobody wants to save it by talking about The Odyssey or who they would cast in it. So I leave it again.
