/lit/ - Literature

Children’s lit with lots of pictures printed on paper meant for the trash?
No

Why do you retards have to bring literature to your mongrel levels? I swear to God, pop "culture" is the most retarded thing I've ever seen.

That, and Americans

No, it's just that there isn't a single good translation of the Iliad and Odyssey into english, but Lattimore's still a fantastic translation and the best possible; Pound shows in some instances the correct feeling and sounding in which Homer has while he takes as many liberties as he sees fit to write his poetry. After all, it's translating Homer second to being an original poetic work.

Quite literally yes, you're too bitter in life.

>Only the love that springs from pity, and carries its compassion to the utmost breaking of self-will, is the redeeming Christian Love, in which Faith and Hope are both included of a—Faith as the unwavering consciousness of that moral meaning of the world, confirmed by the most divine exemplar; Hope as the blessed sense of the impossibility of any cheating of this consciousness.

Very deep eyes here. You have no sense of redemption, you are scared and reject the idea of redemption, because you don't want love to be anything more than an egoistic comforting contentedness, where if you were ready to accept love into or heart, you would know that in the current state of that thing which we feel compassion for, it cannot remain the same, and this oft superhuman effort which is made necessary to occur, is by an absolute unchangeable dominance to affect a change upon the heart first, before we are to take up arms, presumably to stem the thing which we perceive to be the cause of all our suffering, wherein for any such outer effect to be a real treatment, and not an endless bloodbath of self-deception and more suffering, more desiring and self-fault, sins of the fathers of it all.

Yeah they even had fanfiction. The version that was eventually written down in Alexandria had to be composed from many different accounts because people kept making up their own versions. There is a strong possibility that some passages are just popular fanmemes that showed up often enough that Zenodotus included them.

If it makes you feel better about your obsession with scantily clad men who dress up as spiders and bats, sure whatever.
