Can we please stop studying classics with this sjw attitude? Every person in this world is problematic, we cannot “cancel” Julius Caesar for his genocides. And no, I am not apologetic. I just study with an anthropological mindset.

“[…] Μοῦσαι, ἡδυεπεῖς κοῦραι Κρονίδεω Διός, ἵστορες ᾠδῆς:”

Homeric Hymn 32 to Selene, 1-2

“[…] Oh Muses, sweet-voiced daughters of Kronide Zeus, well-skilled in song.” (own English translation)

i’ve just been thinking about how english and americans online expect everyone to know their literature and poetry, their ~classics~ when literally every other country in the world also has an incredible and interesting literary history that is probably more relevant to it’s own citizens, like i’m not saying you shouldn’t branch out to intl lit because i think everyone should but that includes english first language speakers who have never picked up a translated book in their lives

I love Italy so much. You turn a corner and a random, majestic XVIII century building appears in front of your eyes.

this website is so funny you tell people to read books and they’re like “are you saying every book is equally good???????????!!?!??!?” like no but if you read a few books you’d be better at reading maybe
