Somehow Homer mentions Cleopatra despite living 1000 years before she was born. Is every ancient text of renown a forgery?
>>18502059Helen of Troy was white, stop appropriating white culture.
>>18502062Also, when Homer writes his battle scenes, he's able to describe who killed who, who was the son of whom, how rich their property was and how many horses they owned. Almost as if he had some genealogy records right next to him. Very detailed, a little too detailed.
>>18502059The name Cleopatra was a common name
>>18502182Yes, very common...
>>18502059Has anyone here bought a hardcover version of the Iliad? I feel like I should have one. Idk. Recommendations.
What does Cleopatra mean? And what does Patroclus mean? Good boy, have a sticker.
>>18502197Everything I’ve seen is cheap and corny like OP’s, usually an undesirable translation, if they even mention who translated it
