>He hasn’t studied Attic Greek, which is absolutely superior to Latin.

Greek sounds homosexual. Latin is a divine language, while Greek is academic one.

whats the benefit? name 3 things written in latin that are worth reading IN LATIN

Seneca's Apocolocyntosis
The Odes of Horace
De Rerum Natura by Lucretius/Epigrams of Martial if Horace and Lucretius together are too epicurean for you.

>horace
disregarded

>No Aeneid or Metamorphoses
Is this the Latin lit equivalent of wanting to be non-conformist and a special snowflake?

Literally everything that was written in Latin. I can give you a quixotic explanation but my biggest gripe is that the language is so heavily inflected that all translations, even into romance languages, are a sham.
Metamorphoses
De Amicitia
De Bello Gallico

>wasting time studying a ancient dead ass language so you can read some outdated books that are filled with old expressions and still pretty hard to understand despite being already translated to your language.
Are you that desperate to flex on other people?

>Are you that desperate to flex on other people?

Not so long ago you were considered uneducated if you could not speak or even read Latin or Greek.

>still pretty hard to understand despite being already translated to your language.
Admitted brainlet, opinion disregarded.

Augustine was monolingual. He only spoke his native language (Latin) like a brainlet

That is still the case.

Look at this cope.

Reddit: Latin
Yea Forums: Greek

Broke: Latin
Woke: Greek
Bespoke: Biblical Hebrew

no joke: Aramaic

I've heard a lot of good things about Aramaic. What could one read?

some caveman's scat fanfic or some shit, idfk, i'm not that poster btw, but anyone writing in aramaic was probably some dirty neanderthal whose deepest philosophy can be summarized as "do not fuck goat"

The bible in it's original(at least the new testament i believe)

I studied latin for 4 years in school and would like to continue, any book recommendations for self-studying?

the zohar

you have no idea what aramaic is do you you stupid cunt

literally admitted that you're right, you brainlet.

>he hasn't studied every single language in order to read the primary source in its original language

He hasn't been the founder of every language that has ever been know to man.

The Bible. BUT NOT IN ca*Tholic latin, only real latin pronunciation.

>The bible in it's original(at least the new testament i believe)
The New Testament was written in Greek

It's not Catholic Latin, it's Ecclesiastical, but I agree the classical pronunciation is more based.

But used to write the greek version where (at least partly) i believe aramaic texts.

why? the king james is exponentially more relevant to me

this is an entire field of study, the consensus is that it was too well wrote in greek to be a translation from another language besides other greek sources. not many adhere to an aramaic primacy framework

I guess you're right.

What's the correct past tense of "Carthago delenda est"?

Carthago delebat = Carthage was destroyed

>he isn't studying the Summa Theologica in it's original medieval latin
