Are you implying that greeks are white
Austin Jackson

There was an kids MMO i played when i was younger that basically had the setting of the odyssey and iliad but it was called Aqulia and was bird themed it was pretty cool actually really soulful

Get some taste, OP.

There's nothing wrong with Fagles.
Levi Thomas
Never, hopefully
Parker Garcia

Much of modern storytelling is “adapted” from homer. Just play god of war and shut the fuck up
Nicholas Hall
>Home vs Homer
Aaron Rogers
Which do you recommend instead? Just got The Odyssey for $3 at a local big bookstore and completely forgot I was intending to get the Fagles translation due to hearing good things. Mine's translated by T.E. Lawrence, is that e-critic approved?
Evan Kelly
Alexander Pope is amazing but it's really difficult to consider it Homer. It really is poetry by Pope at that point. Fagles is better for scholarly purposes.
Leo Cooper
Modern "Greeks" =/= ancient hellenic people.
Nicholas Johnson
Real men read whd rouse
Thomas Davis
Ah, Home. Or as some say, Homer.
Gabriel Gutierrez
You could just learn Greek.
I was memeing.
The real thing is to learn what era of poetry you like (Classical, Pastoral, Romantic, Modernist etc.) and read a translation from that era.
Or read all of them and autistically nitpick the changes.
Sebastian Ortiz
sneed
Aiden Bell
you can't adapt the iliad the themes it conveys cannot be done by a video game without backlash from players but the odyssey is just screaming for a video game adaptation.
Alexander Richardson
They'd call Odysseus "toxic" for sure. There's no way a modern adaptation could do The Odyssey justice.
Shit, 3/4 of the NPCs in the new AC look Egyptian and some look straight up Sub-Saharan, including plot-critical characters. The fucking Pythia was black.
Xavier Williams
sure the odyssey would definitely be censored and "gurl powr" moments would be included and classical views of Greek homosexuality would be included onto a Mycenaean era Greek but the odyssey is a timeless adventure that would be relatively unchanged thematically.

>These mediteranian folk surely were as white as the nords up north
Frankly I don't know what counts as white these days,because one moment one thing is white,and the other it isn't,but Ancient Greeks had a tan,MINIMUM,if we take in the factor of the climate and sun exposure of Greece.

What are some other mythological stories that capture the same feels of The Illiad/Odyssey? Is Beowulf similar?
Austin Morgan
>play Odyssey
>don't kill the cyclopes
>get secret ending which you quickly go home
Henry Scott
lord of the rings
Anthony Rivera
There is no possible way any modern video game developer can even fathom a manner in which they could adapt The Illiad or the Odyssey. It literally has too much soul for them to comprehend. Now, a game about Heracles would be something better. How would you like to play a game as a giant, hairy fucker that fucks every woman you come across?
Xavier Peterson
Lord of the rings is nothing at all like the Odyssey.
Jaxson Wright
beowulf is great but nibelungen is worth checking out aswell if you end up liking germanic myths the anead could be seen as a fanfic sequel of the odyssey
Nathaniel Thomas
Odysseus never killed the cyclopes.
Asher Watson
Never pierces his eye*
Daniel Phillips
What the fuck was his problem?
Gavin Brown
If he never pierced his eye then they'd have all died.
All Odysseus needed to do was not be a prat and shout his real name back after escaping.
Jason Clark
Who nose?
Oliver Bennett
Fuck you, Carlos.
Colton Hughes
Use your elite gaming skills to escape without harming the cyclopes
Lucas Rodriguez
"white" and "not white" are modern concepts that won't make sense when applied to people before ~1500
Nathaniel Morris
haha his name is fagles lmao

the guy you are replying to is most likely the equivalent of la creatura from subnautica, yet he still feels the need to post on a taiwanese wristwatch manufacturing forum about what he considers to be white while he's eating hot pockets and masturbating to loli tentacle hentai.

I don't know the first damn thing about poetry I just wanna read Homer
