I need more works like Beowulf. Is it the epitome of literature?

>>9410194
Also water margin, romance of the three kingdoms, and journey to the west

Originality and sheer reactionary elements

I just had that as an aside because they're similar to Beowulf.
>>9410060
I feel like I'll miss so much in translation

read it, was pretty good. Looking for more "classical" works, though and not spin offs.

magic has some nice art

anything written before 1000 AD reads like Beowulf

>is learning German and Norwegian the key to reading the great Anglo texts like Nibelung and such?
No, you fucking mongoloid. If you want to be able to read shit written in Old High German, learn Old High German. If you want to read something in Old English, learn Old English.

>>9410500
what's the best language to learn for more like Beowulf? Old Norse?

Lay of Leithian, Kalevala

I was using it as example, the point is you can pay 2 life after they tap out for a counter spell and essentially rob their library of 3 counter spells

>>9412410
>rob their library of 3 counter spells
Using SE for this isn't really good. It's greatest function is information, as you get to look through that whole mother fucker after side board. And not only that, should really only be in for a, aptly, surgical usage.

I agree somewhat, maybe run 1 or 2 ...its too intuitive

>>9412435
Do you happen to know if this card has found its way into legacy elves decks? Though, it's sort of wicked fucking expensive. I know some decks already play a Taiga or something to facilitate that one legendary storm hate creature I can't fucking think of the name of.

> no odyssey

Nordic (Icelandic) most important works (in this order generally, but minor differences in themes):
>Burnt Njal
>Egils saga
>Grettis saga
>Gisla saga
>Laxdaela
>Völsungasaga

>>9411578
Old english. Although versions in icelandic from old norse do exist. Good luck learning old norse though, even icelanders have problems with understanding that shit sometimes.

LEGACY CAPTCHA

>>9412580
How do I activate that? Does it work on a phone? Please hold my hand through this, I am not ready to figure it out on my own.

>>9412628
three options:

PREFERRED:
>use 4chanx in firefox (or ... chrome)
there's a little wrench in the top-left screen, go to the category "Posting and Captchas", then check "Use Recaptcha V1" (but not the one for starting threads)

other:
>iphone safari (maybe all mobile, idk) 4chan
under settings, category "quotes & replying," click legacy captcha

>non-4chanx computer browser
first ask yourself, "why?" then go under the settings, where it should be identical to the mobile solution

Learning Anglo-Saxon is the key. Would you learn Spanish in order to read a French book?

>>9412933
You can oufcourse just ignore most of humans history in literature if you wish to.

Thanks. The depth of your knowledge is only surpassed by the grace with which you offer it to those in need.
