Anyone have a chart for these historians? I have been checking the wiki and can't really find much more than their great works, I am more interested in works like pic related.
I've read The Histories of Herodotus, The Peloponnesian War and most of Apollodorus' Library and Hyginus' Fabulae.

Bump. Someone please make something like this.

Isn't that just a book of selections?

>>9832982
Your pic is excerpts from Herodotus' Histories
All that exists from them are:
Herodotus-Histories
Thucydides-Peloponnesian War
Livy-Ab urbe condita books 1-10, 21-45
Tacitus-Annals (14-68ad), histories (69ad), agricola, germania, and a treatise on rhetoric.
If you want less monolithic and more curious works, check out aelian, Gellius' attic nights, atheneus' deipnosophists, and Lucian.

Why do people hate the Bible? Have they not read "Ecclesiastes"?
I know it's pretty much the hipster book of all the books in the Bible, but it's just so good.

I was wondering if is necessary that an author's novel have an intentional moral message after it? Or it needs to be implicit already on it? Is there a book that in the content there is not intention of doing so?

Tell a 6-9 year old kid to make up a story and tell it to you. You'd be amazed. If you got answer here. I asked my 8 year old cousin and got this:
One day the squirrel Gerald was in the school and suddenly Tom came, then he got out and found Tom eating germs as always. He went to his house and when he turned on the TV the news report said his parents had been lost. Tom with his brother lom which lives in the dumpster went to find the parents. They fought the dragon and the monsters, but Tom made his shirt dirty and had Togo back and change. In the house there were his parents. They said they had been shopping. The news report appeared again and said:
'Haha Tom you idiot its April fools today"

Yeah, because children normally don't develop conscious criticism until later into adolescence. Anything young children say, especially when it's a product of their imagination, is typically done so via stream-of-consciousness.

Hey /lit/, I'm really interested in nuclear war, cold war, vietnam, south america, afghanistan in the 80s, shady shit, etc.. Really just /k/ stuff, but I thought i would ask you first, since they always recommend tom clancy, and I'm more interested in non fiction stuff.

I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.
When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.
Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

Reading a good poem after lots of shitty poetry is like drinking purified water after a gallon of tap water.

Why was he so obsessed about men acting like animals and vice versa? Was he reading a lot of Nietzsche?

I've read a few poems of Dickinson on death, but what are there any /poets/ who know any important ones I should pay attention too? Anything I should know about her? Looking for death themes for to inspire me for a story im working on.

Welp. We had a good run but I think we've officially ran out of ideas for anthologies.
Someone tell Otto Penzler and the Vandermeers.
