>>24965352Based D'AulairesI don't like Edith Hamilton's Mythology because it is written in the driest possible way. It's so boring. It's not even a translation, so I don't understand why it's so flat.
>>24966732Greeks didn't think think large dicks were uncivilized, they just didn't depict them in statues for the same reason women have small breasts and no vagina in Greek statues. Greeks literally had phallus worship

>>24965342No, it is actually the worst one.
>>24965357the book does a good job telling you where it pulls the version of the tales and myths from at least. If anything it can be a useful tool to find your way to the primary sources if you don't know them off the top of your head. Someone already said this but i wanted to get this faggot captcha timer out of the way :^)

>>24969185Before I started ancient languages at all I was a history major anyways and I spent much more time with classical sources than medieval ones having the same “waow the romans/greeks are so le modern” and over time my view has shifted that the medievals are on a surface level more alien but on a deeper level are us, while we have adopted many trappings of the greeks and romans and imported some of their thinking piecemeal, but it fundamentally is a different, yet ancestral civilization.

>>24960437This is the same with how people don’t even understand where the values of America are based off, and what the groundwork really is of enlightenment and human rights. People often don’t know where things come from, and truths are just illusions we have forgotten are illusions. Myth that has become canonized after being poetically embellished.

I've grown old and only known the love of an exwife, a few paramours, an independently wealthy heiress, a pure virgin fraulein, a sad-eye'd gypsy girl, two demimondes, a handful of fashion models (for local brands no less!), and a regrettable soupçon goût with a young catamite in college. Nearly thirty years old and I've neither married into extravagant wealth nor raised a brood of eight ragamuffin young children in honorable poverty through the sweat of my labour at the local mines.My books, while generally well received by critics, have not earned me a breakout reputation as a literary tastemaker. Nor have they catapulted me into high society. At best they occasionally get me invited to bohemian artists parties in NYC (and lets be honest, who wants to go to those?). When I ran away to join the French Foreign Legion I could not even complete a single push up. They told me to come back in a month and try again. it was humiliating.Barclays and JP Morgan both refuse to hire me as a financial trader, and my efforts to secure a post at an embassy abroad have been utterly unfruitful. None of my business ventures have been wildly successful or earned me a wunderkind party mansion in the hills of Palo Alto. I don't even have a studio apartment in Paris or Milan yet. Let's face it, I'm a failure, a fraud, a phony. My life is over before it even began..Can anybody recommend a book to help me cope with this fact?

>>24969475Why try to quote me? Why not ask?No, Marx is a utopian state-socialist who was supported if not influenced by the Fabians. He has a faith in another direction of liberal capitalism. Classical liberal or Marxian are like judaism and Islam worshiping the same god. The use of money is for enslavement. There's no reforming it. Everything it touches is corrupted. Remove it from human society and 99% of our ills fade away and the burden of life becomes more of a joy to sail through. End this cult.

>>24968579>German U-Boat crews had a higher mortality rateBy the end of the war because of innovations in radar, having air cover throughout the passage, and some high-powered light thing (can't remember the name).

>>24968571Why do you guys ignore all the slavs that saw the Nazis as liberators? One of the Nazi's biggest mistakes was failing to leverage that.
>>24968597Well, yeah, you said it yourself, the Nazis proceeded to burn that bridge with their behaviour towards those Slavs. No use being an anti-Communist Russian nationalist when you realize the Germans are daydreaming about turning you into a serf working for a German aristocracy just like the Junkers in Poland and the Baltic Germans across the Baltic states.
