>But Pope takes it a step farther and tries to make the "meaning" fit an English rhyming scheme.
care to elaborate? I don't see how a rhyme scheme necessarily detracts from the accuracy of the translation; no matter which translation you read there's going to be nuance you won't get because it's impossible to translate the language exactly. greek is a highly inflected language, and syntax is less rigid in the language than in English. All translators are giving you their interpreted best-reiteration because if they translated the lines literally they would make no sense in English. You're not reading Homer no matter which translation you read, and there's no definitive way to translate measure which one is more accurate because they're all the translator's best guesses. Which is why I don't think Pope's Homer is a bad thing to read: Pope saw it fit to adapt the poem to the English equivalent he thought best representative of Homer's vision.

tldr it's impossible to translate greek into english literally, it's all dependent upon which translator you trust most to interpret Homer's vision and methods, and who better than another master poet?

You're making this unnecessarily complicated. So here's a retarded example you can grasp.

>Original language. Literal.
Blue sky is. Green tree is.
>Rough Translation
The sky is blue. The tree is green.
>Pope translation
The sky is blue, and the tree is a green hue.

The "Pope" translation takes liberties to make it rhyme.

Hardly. If you can't provide an actual example of Pope being "too liberal" with the translation I have no reason to simply take your word for it. I can just as easily claim any other translators do the same thing.

And, the point isn't that Pope isn't liberal; the point is that they're ALL liberal. You're ignoring the inflection of greek words. A translator has to decide which articles to use, how to structure a sentence, the diction, and a multitude of other factors. Yes, diction too, because believe it or not, not every word in Greek has a literal translation into English. Language isn't always 1=1

Gets a bit tiring towards the end but the ending itself pays off, you can tell Marquez was sort of getting bored of it due to the later ancestors weren't as interesting as the earlier ones but yes, it's absolutely worth the read.

I picked The Simpsons scene because there's a line in 100 Years said by Aureliano I think, when fighting the Conservatives and it reminds me so much of the "So we can marry our cousins", scene from The Simpsons so much.

Any idea of why it focused on this painting so much?

My interpretation of the movie, condensed,

>Reality is not an actual thing, but only a system of ideas and associations every individual has
>The "real" things we have are only concepts of what we believe and our memories
>Despite all of this, we still have love, and love gives us reason to live

But I just watched it two hours ago and I feel like it went way over my head. I'm a little disappointed in myself, actually, for feeling so inadequate. First exposure to Tarkovsky, and I look forward to more.

You know, I thought of that while I was watching. And I thought of this, too:

>My job is to speak in images, not in arguments I must exhibit life full-face, not discuss life.
>The political is not compatible with the artistic, because the former, in order to prove, has to be one sided

Which are from Gogol and Tolstoy, respectively, but Tarkov agreed with them. He used images to tell a story and let the audience take what they would away from it. Nolan could learn from that. He's way too dialogue-heavy.

I would recommend if you want 19th century european satire. It's inventive with some aspects of the plot and was entertaining in part, but it's bloated, definitely.

It was painted to me as a reinvention of inferno from a man Nabokov described as "strange" and a genius, so I thought it might have something about it like Bulgakov does. Unfortunately, my expectations fell short. I was expecting a lost gem of literature and I didn't get it. My toys are now scattered around the pram and I'm onto Egil's saga
