homer should write raps
but seriously has anyone read this? i'm reading it for school. it's kind of hard, but after the first chapter i basically completely adjusted to the tone so it was ALL GOOD
yeah, I've read it, it's about Ulysses
Quote from: KarkasmolenKlok;1504737I THINK YOU MEAN ODYSSEUS SIR
ULYSSES IS A BETTER NAME
Odulysseseus
Did you get to the end yet? I love when Odysseus, his son, and his father go out and fucking kill all those dudes.
It was really entertaining. If you liked The Odyssey, I suggest you read Beowulf. It is another epic poem about and ancient warrior kicking ass.
read the Aeneid, and the Iliad, and the Argonautica
Ulysses is the Latin name for Odysseus. People use the Greek name because "The Ulyssey" sounds stupid.
I should read it someday instead of just seeing the movie. :p

...In Old English. :cool:

The version I read had both English and old-English side by side. Old English is weird, because it looks familiar, but at the same time is pretty much a completely different language.
I think Leek has said he read in in old English.
Also Beowulf swam a race for like 5 days in full gear. Bad ass motherfucker.
Well Orpheus is better than both of them!
he... uh... was a really good singer?
awesome awesome trip there

I have it easier because it's pretty similar to Old Norse. Still a lot of unfamiliar words. Middle English is easiest.

Which was why he killed the maids too.
odysseus is such a cool guy
