I want to catch up on ancient greek literature, but don't know where to start.
Should I go with just classic drama or religious tales? What era is a good pick
Where should I begin?

If you don't want to begin with a dry non-fiction book then start with the Odysseus or smaller sagas about the Argonauts, Heracles, Ödipus, etc. After that you can go for the Iliad, some plays or whatever. Don't feel forced to go by the graph in detail.

How to deal with falling in love but not having enough sexual power to keep it up and probably having the only thing you romanticized in life destroyed by that small thing, your impotence. And the feeling of having lost something FUCKIN hard to find cuz of that, and the feeling that you'll never be able to keep it up. Anon, your love even read the meme books you love so much, you weren't able to fuck her, the antidepressants you took in the past wrecked your libido.
To keep it rolling: books that may help a person deal with this? books for this feel? Lit related philosophys that could help?

Is there a name for the literary device where one says a phrase near the beginning of something such as a poem or short story, then repeats it near the end and re-interprets it in light of the story?

Books and the songs that go with them.
I love reading a book with a song in mind, though here I'm just looking for songs specifically about a book or series, not just ones that fit.
I'll start with a few, post any you know.

Why did Milton make Satan so attractive a character?
To make the reader also feel tempted?
But he doesn't convincingly make God seem like a good dude beyond the fact he's God and it's a given.

Blake still has the best interpretation. He was of the Devil's party without knowing it.
>>
>>8719810
even though Milton's Satan doesn't come across as some cartoon super villain, I'd say it would be impossible to argue that he was 'good' as he was the one who 'brought deathinto the world, and all our woe'.
its hard to say OP, some people argue that its because Milton was bitter about his failing revolution, giving him an aversion to authority, but I think it was because of the simple reason that flat characters don't make great main antagonists.
its very unlikely that he did it to 'tempt' the reader though, he was a devout christian.

Yes, unless they're deluded which is not so unlikely
>better
No, bad contributions to any medium is a crime, it'd be better had they not published at all rather than bring the average down
