Just finished this and I liked it a lot. How do I proceed?
>>23546056Odyssey obviously
>>23546056Aside from the obvious Odyssey and Aeneid, out of all epics I've read I've found Torquato Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered to be the most similar to the Iliad.
>>23546056Read Hippias MinorIt is an early literary criticism of the Iliad.
>>23546056See Odyssey is obviously the obvious answer anon
>>23546056The sea from Odyssey will be the salvation you salivate for
>>23546056odyssey and hesiod doesnt matter what one you read first, 5 replies and no mention of homers contemporary that goes into depth about the gods and how they came to be, shame
You read Twitter posts about the Iliad next.
>>23546221Achilles is meant to be the bad guy
>>23546221>>23546359Achilles is a whiny little bitch and Agamemnon did no wrong, he put that puny punk in his place. If it weren't for this demigod birth he'd be a nobody, probably slain at the hand of one of the greater heros for being insubordinate.
>>23546056Which translation did you read? If you read a shitty translation you haven't really read it.
>>23546221Based gook.
>>23546359Homer is indifferent to casting moral judgement on Achilles and it is all viewed through a rather indifferent lens. “Homeric morality” is a much later invention created by people centuries later trying desperately to add their own opinions into the text. The guy in that post is also an idiot btw.
