There isn't a telos of a rotten tooth, a tooth rotting is the failing of a tooth to fulfill its telos.

>>8758442
Does the rotten tooth lack a telos, or is it merely failing to fulfil its telos?

Have you tried the /pol/ redpill? We're recruiting and looking to re-establish a time before degeneracy and the things you describe; ideally a world akin to the '50s with traditional gender roles and racial segregation.

literally who

Post the translator's name...

>>8758144
Excuse the 4 pixel image I was provided

Ennis Rees is the translator

Pretty much most people agree Robert Fagles has the best translation of the Illiad for first time readers. If you want a more stylistic translation there are others but Fagles is pretty solid overall.

depends on what you want to gain from it

"Poetry" is too broad of a descriptor to give a proper answer to this question. It depends on the type of poetry.

Aesthetic delight from prose and the power of its message or motif.

Sort of. In academic circles it's still a thing. Outside of that, not as much as it used to be. I'm lucky enough to live in a town with two universities, so there are regular poetry readings and "famous" poets come to town for readings and Q&As.

But for the general population, the only exposure they get to poetry is through song lyrics. I guess in a broader sense songwriters - or lyricists - are the modern poets.

So bow down before our new Poet Laureates, Kanye and Lady Gaga!

But true poetry, the Keats and Frost and Dickinson poetry that many of us studied and enjoyed in school, is no longer a thing.
