that makes sense about the translations, hadnt thought of that, its too bad
i dont really think the iliad is that inaccessible tho, esp if u read lattimore's brilliant intro (this might just be my bias)
the miller book sounds neat on its own ig, tho i probably wouldnt be personally interested in having a modern filter put over on ancient ideas of sexuality from a very unsexual text
u mentioned u didnt care for it much and also compared it directly to source material so i figured id rep my favorite book
Wandumwhy bother reading a physics textbook when you could just read the original papers published by newton?
also this seems like a really pointless and inaccurate thing to say
