/lit/ - Literature

I plan to begin translating Homer’s The Odyssey soon and release it sometime next year. This translation will be unique as I will be translating it from Latin (after I learn Latin which should only take me a few months.) Normally I recommend Emily Wilson’s translation as it is the most accurate from Greek translation, but a from Greek translation on serves to better appreciate Plato dunking on Homer. Homer is a hack and should be thought of as one.

The thing is, Heidegger was wrong about Greek and German being the languages of philosophy; it’s actually Latin, which was were the greatest developments in NeoPlatonism can be seen. I know Plotinus wrote in Greek, but he only laid the foundations; the real work was in Latin. Plotinus I believe also approached Plato with a Latin mind, and he very likely knew Latin. As well all know, knowing another language helps you think in different ways, so the origin of Plotinus’ writing is in essence Latin.

So why am I translating the work of a hack from Latin? Because the rendering of Homer into Latin gave it NeoPlatonic underpinnings that were not there before, or rather UNCONCEALED them.

Normally I say, start with the Greeks, but Plato and Aristotle, not Homer and Hesiod, but with this translation, Homer can be added to the essential Greeks.

Plato was a MAP and Plato laid the path to Pleroma so…

Retroactively by Parmenides (pbuh).

Homer is trash. When people say “start with the Greeks,” what is meant is “start with Plato and Aristotle.”

>>20835833
which one in the pic is the author you are referring to?

>>20833510
Yes. Jokes on them though. Stupid hylics.

Me. Here’s my path to Pleroma.

Some Jewish fuckhead named, I kid you fucking not, Solomon bullied me 9th and most of 10th grade. Little fucker said I look like a chink and therefore have a small dick (mind you I’m half German-English and half Mexican-Irish, but I’m sure the Mexican part is all Spanish; that side of the family is from Veracruz.) Anyways, this fuckhead pants’s me on my way to AP World History, which I passed with flying colors by the way, but a good few dozen others see my dick and laugh saying it’s small. It’s not small, it’s over 5 inches so more than average. Besides, who cares about dick size; I’m not a hylic. But the dumb school jokes about this nonstop so I change to homeschooling end of 10th grade.

That girl left him for a black guy. Not even joking; look it up. Anyways, women are hylics, and so are you for cumbrain posting. Fuck you, OP.

Eastern philosophy is mostly stupid. Start with the Greeks, Plato and Aristotle, not Homer and Hesiod.

I’ve only ever been to a party once. Never going to one again. Parties are for degenerate hylics.

While homeschooling, I started watching some YouTube videos about philosophy, then started with the Greeks (Plato and Aristotle not Homer and Hesiod) and went from there. Now I’m on the path of Pleroma and am planning to write and publish two books soon.

I HAVE MORE THAN HOPE. HOPE IS MERE ILLUSION.

That’s what so great about the translation. Homer is for teenage girls. He’s no better a writer than any other YA hack. Fiction itself is a hack genre.

Lattimore and co. just tried to dress up Homer with flowery language, but Homer himself is trash.

My book, when I eventually release it. It synthesizes Plato, Neoplatonism, Heidegger, Hegel, Postmodernism, Gnosticism, and also covers psychoanalysis and natural science.

Thanks.

What’s a good place to buy German books?

Bottom line is, Jews all serve The Capital aka The Demiurge.

STOP WORSHIPPING FEET! THEY ARE MATERIAL OBJECTS!

Just wait until I publish my own translation, which will be much better than Wilson’s even.

>>20827195
I’m not a tranny, you dumb hylic. You are probably a glowie as well.

>>20826991
Sure.

>>20827003
I hope she translates the Iliad too. That way Lattimore will be completely forgotten in academia.
