Never really thought of this before, but does MD follow the hero's journey?

the Vietnam war as a 1200-page catalog of ships

post-modern novel about a band trying to "make it" and their adventures.

In a hundred pages, so it's not too late to stop. What do you think?

Some pseud tries to create postmodern art using the refraction of light and shadows despite having no knowledge on the subject. He's convinced that all of the universe's truths and meaning can be discerned from the different polygons light can make on the wall

It's a bit of a waste, and you will probably regret it. But it's not wrong in the general sense.

Caligula may have been a shitposter.

But Nero would have lurked /lit/. An immature man child who thought himself a great artist.

He might be disappointed to discover that rulers can no longer fool the people into believing they're gods.

Nero would've posted poems in the critique thread without bothering to critique any of the posters before him

theogeny

All the stories are have been open to multiple interpretations. If there's a compilation that goes through them all, I haven't heard about it.
Hesiod, Homer, Apollodorus, the Homeric hymns, and all the Athenian playwrights are decent source samples.

Robert Graves Greek Myths gives a great rundown of pretty much everything. Read that to see what you've missed from the above.

Nice effort.

Im about to dive for the third time into his works from tomorrow on and have a big folder similar, at least in intention, to your guide.

Allow me, in a constructive spirit, some remarks:
>you lack some primary sources, such as his correspondence, private/public occasions, his secret war diary, among others.
>the grammar is a random chunk made by rhees from the so called big typescript. it shouldnt be listed as a book.
>questionable order. for instance, OC RoC and LWPP go together. the latter are from a different period from the RPP, even if the names are close.
>where is von Wright? his catalog and his book are fundamental.
>id list some of the memoirs from people who knew him first hand, such as Malcolm Engelmann Drury etc
>you include a lot of academic philosophy that is mere appropriation from philosophers that had nothing to do with him while leaving aside related stuff such as the books 'discussions of w', wthe house of w' or the series 'portraits of w'
>no prototractatus!
>nothing from the vienna-fin-de-siecle context, such as toulmin's book
>nothing on his architecture!
>joachim schulte is his best german exegete, he has published a couple of books on him. theyre a must.
>

the book 'w a critical reader' has a complete list on primary sources in english. his exegetes made a bit of a mess with his stuff in the publications, but the serious reader can gather some order in there from serious publications. there is so much junk that it is hard to filter.

Anyway, as I advance on my reading Im sure some ideas will sprout from past readings so maybe Ill be coming here to discuss them.

I remember we had some years back a reading group here on lit. I was there for the 1st one on the PI. I know there was another one on OC. Maybe we could plan something similar in the near future.

>>you lack some primary sources, such as his correspondence, private/public occasions, his secret war diary, among others.
These will be added soon.

>>the grammar is a random chunk made by rhees from the so called big typescript. it shouldnt be listed as a book.
Correct but it helps to give an idea of the publishing history.

>>questionable order. for instance, OC RoC and LWPP go together. the latter are from a different period from the RPP, even if the names are close.
Yes, you are correct but I have organised these chronologically as to the time they were written (based on the accounts of their prefaces). I am soon going to offer advice as to how one should read these works.

>>where is von Wright? his catalog and his book are fundamental.
Yes, you are correct. He shall soon be added.

>>id list some of the memoirs from people who knew him first hand, such as Malcolm Engelmann Drury etc
I have included Drury and Malcolm's memoirs. Engelmann will soon be added.

>>you include a lot of academic philosophy that is mere appropriation from philosophers that had nothing to do with him while leaving aside related stuff such as the books 'discussions of w', wthe house of w' or the series 'portraits of w'
Thank you for your suggestions.

>>no prototractatus!
This will be added.

>>nothing from the vienna-fin-de-siecle context, such as toulmin's book
This will be researched.

>>nothing on his architecture!
This will be added soon alongside his interest in the Clarinet.

>>joachim schulte is his best german exegete, he has published a couple of books on him. theyre a must.
I will research these.

I don't know. I don't think it's ugly, but how would I tell? I doubt people with horrible souls believe it of themselves.

The great men of history are still a handful out of millions who could see the truth. Stop pretending you could accomplish the things they did if you were in their position. If you were truly intelligent you could make contributions.
