Western literature reached its perfection 2700 years ago.
Why do you even bother reading anything post-Iliad?
Care to elaborate on why it is perfect?
Half of it is "x killed y".

And 'and his armor rang rattling round him as he fell heavily to the ground'
The philosophy/subtext behind these old stories like Homer's writings are terrible. Fucking retards were stupid enough to disconnect economy from politics, no fucking wonder they got conquered like lil bitches
All stories are just a retelling of previous stories or events. Especially now.

> illiad
> literature
Thanks OP, I needed a laugh today.
