This will sell our book

books should have died with the invention of cinema. its an obviously superior medium for telling stories.

I've read The Odyssey and The Iliad and it's fucking boring stuff

>not deriving a primordial connection to humanity from the oldest extant literature via its archetypal paradigms distilled by tropes still in use today
appreciating and understanding the old allows you to better understand the new. cf. joseph campbell's 'hero's journey' vis a vis homer.
bug consciousness. ngmi.

I read a lot, bit only golden age science fiction about space travel and moon bases.

>cf. joseph campbell's 'hero's journey'
Midwit and Reddit tier opinion

campbell is a kook

>Iliad
>boring

it's low hanging fruit for an intro to cultural studies. do you have an example of something as succinct and accessible for someone that finds homer [fucking boring] out of hand?

There's like 30 pages of just rattling off the names of people joining the fight and where they come from and who they're related to, you've probably never read it.

he's just a HxH fan

i'm reading ulysses right now and it's heeming my non-brainlet status

Odyssey was a kino read as a kid. Even moreso since it was before the internet took hold. Reading on Greek mythology in general was kino af actually.

Just checked and its literally just 7 pages you zoomer

well it feels like 30
but seriously did you look it up because you never read it? don't waste my time

true, and cinema shouldve died with videogames, outdated mediums are cringe.
let's all be real about this, if Shakespeare or Michelangelo were alive they would make videogames

I grabbed my copy and counted the pages. Don't try to deflect from the fact that you don't have the attention span to read 7 pages.

no they won’t. God I hate vidyafags

what's worse? being too stoopid to read words on a page or being too stoopid to skip some pages when they're just lists?

this its like the songs in lord of the rings
just skip it

of course they would, they were pioneers, they loved the newest mediums and later trends
also a book has no artistic merit, imagining and writing things is easy, actually designing them it's not.
Movies and videogames require artistic skill and craftsmasnhip.

You fags don't listen to audiobooks while playing Vidya?

>book is non fiction about a real person
>actor who played them in film version on the cover

intermixing media is symptomatic of a zoomer adhd brain that is always craving excesses of stimulation. it's a formula for diluting your experience and getting less out of either medium than you would have gotten with a more intentional, directed consumption of them individually. if the vidya you play isn't stimulating enough to foster this then it's because vidya is 99% artless garbage

damn I really triggered the pseuds

Pseud rambling.

reminder more people have read the aeneid throughout history than any of homer's works
ROMA > GRAECIA

not even difficult to parse jesus fuck how stupid are you

>parse
get over yourself jesus

>Nooo! Don't enjoy things, Read Ivanhoe!

no you are a pseud for thinking "intermixing media" is a zoomer thing you sound underage

this reminds me of a vid of boris johnson vs some classics professor in a debate-spectacle of rome vs greece. turned me on him being 'the idiot' media would box him into as a parallel to trump

Was the real guy that ugly?

my man you were samefagging so hard defending the Iliad

I could not take the Aenid seriously
>oh yeah it sucks that we had to genocide carthage, but you see it was basically destiny because our ancestor who also happened to be an trojan in exile fucked their old queen so good she cursed us forever when he left her... shit sucked man...

I have watched that debate and Johnson had the stronger case. The dipshit audience fell for Beard's sneaky pandering tricks.
>look at how diverse Rome was! prostitutes lamenting philosophy! hustle and bustle! exposed red brick!
it's all so tiresome

Enaeiad is best book

user, The Odyssey was assigned reading my freshman year of high school. And I constantly read books

Some of y'all people don't even read the bible and it shows
