If you can't appreciate Plato you might as well give up on philosophy

This times one million.
If you ignore Euclid and Archimedes, you might as well ignore anything you consider as mildly influential.
The Greeks were also the first to develop and find importance in logical proofs for mathematics.
All hail Thales.

Confirmed for never reading Greeks. Partial confirmation OP has been butthurt by /b/ but he might just have a chronic case of unfunsies.

Not the OP, but this really is the worst /lit/ meme.

Why are they doing that to the poor tick? The bloated bitch was just trying to fulfill its biological imperative.

I read the Odyssey in middle school OP and I remember shit got real pretty early on.

>> No.6193143

The Greeks have something for everyone though. It's not all Aristotle and Plato. Pindar, Aristophanes, Thucydides. I was a classics major, so I gravitated towards these things anyway.

It's so funny that people actually consider this to be a meme and not a real starting point in studying literature/philosophy.

Seems like 4chan.org/pleb as of late.

Learn up lit

>> No.6193520

Thinking about drama by reading Aristotle, fine.

But most of this is just fetishizing old stuff because it's old. Most great works of literature were not Greek. I thought we got over this in the 1700s.

It's a vital starting point for philosophy. Fiction, though? Other than Homer and the myths, they're largely non-essential.

>> No.6193840

The real question is why /lit/ is treated as the philosophy board even while talking about fiction.
