/lit/ is a modern Temple of Athena

What is /ath/?
>A discussion of books, poems, and other forms of literature relating to Athena or any succeeding form of the feminine personification of wisdom (Minerva, Sophia, etc.). General discussion relating to Greco-Roman literature and society are also welcome.

Why is this important?
>The Greeks are the foundation of the West, if literature has some sort of 'queen' or overseer, it is certainly Athena. By dedicating yourself to her image you are helping sharpen your literary muscles.

What do I read?
>Start with the Greeks

>Future post-Greeks Athena/Wisdom reading list chart coming soon

1. HELLENIC CULTURE IS THE FOUNDATION OF CATHOLICAL CIVILIZATION; ROMAN CULTURE IS ITS SUBSTRUCTURE; HISPANICAL CULTURE: ITS SUPERSTRUCTURE, AND CHRISTIANITY ITS AXIS OF FORMATION.

2. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS: «THE WEST»/«WESTERN CULTURE»/«WESTERN CIVILIZATION»; THE ACTUAL REFERENT OF THESE VAGUE, SPURIOUS TERMS IS THE PROTESTANTSPHERE.

3. THE NOTION OF A «WESTERN WORLD» CONTRASTING AN «EASTERN WORLD» IS ILLUSTRISTIC, INSUBSTANTIAL, EUROCENTRIC.
