Which of the great three should I start with - Iliad, Odyssey, or Aeneid?
>>
>>9328229
Read in order you stupid fuk
>>
the bible
>>
>>9328232
What is the order you vitriolic swine?

>>9328234
I've read the entire Bible at least twice, and portions more than ten times. Stay on topic.
>>
>>9328249
Illiad -> Odyssey -> Aeneid
He means in a chronological order, idk what else you would think
>>
>>9328287
not OP but if you read 'what takes place' chronologiclly, you could also read: Illiad>Aeneid>Odyssey.
but reading Homer before Virgil still seems rather obvious.
>>
>>9328229
Here is the correct order:
The Iliad -> The Iliad -> The Iliad -> The Iliad -> The Odyssey -> The Aeneid
>>
>>9328305
And then for good measure:
The Iliad -> The Iliad -> The Iliad

The Iliad is so much better than The Odyssey that it is indeed a bit hard for me to imagine that they were the product of the same mind (or group of minds)

Cypria -> Iliad -> Aethiopis -> Little Iliad -> Iliou Persis -> Nostoi -> Odyssey -> Telegony

>>9328332
Interesting. Thank you. I had not heard of any of those beyond the Iliad and Odyssey.

This is how I read it, would recommend
>>
>>9328536
1) Better poetry
2) More believable (I don't buy Penelope or the suitors...)
3) Less moralizing... The Iliad presents its protagonists as fuck-ups, whereas The Odyssey sort of tries to force an "Odysseus is a good guy" interpretation even though he is really also a fuck-up
>>
>>9328592
Thanks. I think I will follow your, and the above anon's, advice.
>>
>>9328229
>Aeneid
>great

don't waste your time, sweetheart
