>Homer >Virgil

Of course Homer is greater than Virgil. What's your point?

Stupid frogposter.

>Hesiod
>Homer

>Homeric.

>>8722704
My point is that it's Homerus and Virgilius, not Homer and Virgil. Also Ikaros instead of Icarus and Herakles instead of Hercules.

>>8722737
You could have actually made that point to start with rather than just greentexting like a retard.

i bet you also think latinized versions of germanic words and names are proper use, too?

>>8722749

Not to mention is should be Homeros, or at least Ὅμηρος.

>mentioning virgil in the same breath as homer
>muh trojan fanfic

why do the old epics always give away huge plot points well in advance, like homer telling us patroclus ill die for achilles to go to battle and kill hector?

>>8722974
The plot of these stories, for the most part, would have already been known. The Greek poets and playwrights simply took myths that were well-circulated and then gave them a cohesive story with beautiful lines.

>>8722974
Because plot twists are for plebs

>>8722997

That's not a plot twist though..

>>8723269
Isn't it Ovidius?

There's always a dipshit in every philosophy class who tries to pronounce Sartre with a French accent and fails, but succeeds in covering everyone in phlegm and spittle.

That's you.

>he doesn't pronounce Sartre with a French accent
Are you American by any chance?

>>8722737
No it's not. Those are nominative forms; English doesn't use cases. Drop the endings, dummy.

Learn Greek and Latin already

On second thought I'll stick with Ovid

>homer is better than Virgil

Virgil is a much better writer

>>8723456
Homer and Virgil just sounds godawful

One makes me think of Homer Simpson and the other sounds like Virgin

>>8723676

In what way? The aeneid is boring as fuck, as is aeneas.

>>8722737
Homer was Greek, not Roman, you swine.

>>8722737
Well akshually it's "Ὅμηρος" and "Дocтoeвcкий" and "Žižek" and omg look at me I'm so smart and anglicization of names is totally purposeless and made up by dumb people for no real reason!

>>8723676
>Homer and Virgil just sounds godawful
Sounds like a personal problem.

>>8723713
It really should be Zhizhek though, properly anglicized.

If you're not spitting while saying the big Z's name, you're doing it wrong
