Why are everyone on this site obsessed with Homer, when Vergil historically has been regarded as the superior poet?

[famine @FamineRG]

@GroidHater @AnaboliclyJelqd You’re right as opposed to you weirdos I look great irl, partly due to my cultivated sense of style

I have masters in modern and ancient literature btw hbu

[famine @FamineRG]

[famine @FamineRG]

@SimonSchfe45703 I have never read a good take from you

@SoulCultivated Its one of the most pretentious things you can do; basically, “these are my wise thoughts on this giant work”

@BruunGarcia Kan du præcisere det angiveligt vatarmede?

[famine @FamineRG]

@djdarwin @DecodingFoxNews That’s literally a false statement

[famine @FamineRG]

@velklaedtmand Meget enig. En god statusmarkør der er forduftet i vinden.

@PeterBrix14 @designed_future @Mbakaza4L If you concur the story is fictional, then surely it’s setting is too.

@RedRumStanley @MattKaramazov Heraclitus. Close enough.

Books are consumer-slop.

Do something with your life.

Everyone can name their top 10 novels, yet not their top 10 poems

Which is interesting as historically poetry is the far more pretentious medium

[famine @FamineRG]

@wool1111 How come they all not only have read the Russians - but also enjoyed them?

I can see why the Mona Lisa is a great piece of art without it ever coming near my top 10 artworks

@PeterBrix14 @designed_future @Mbakaza4L — the state from Elsinore. It’s a fictional place, in a fictional, literary world.

[famine @FamineRG]

@PeterBrix14 @designed_future @Mbakaza4L Of course Elsinore is fictional. In the same way that Sicily and Bohemia in The Winter’s Tale - while being actual, real, historical places - also are fictional.

Hamlet, Claudio, Polonius are not Danish names, and likewise, the Danish kings never resided or administered—

[famine @FamineRG]

@designed_future @Mbakaza4L Reread your Shakespeare.
While you’re correct Elsinore is an entirely fictional place, it’s of course based on a castle in Denmark.
Also retarded take on Coriolanus - see Plutarch.
