I'm already getting notes where ppl are like "I went to a k-12 in rural ohioalambaska and WE read the iliad & odyssey" so I feel the need to state that I had readings from english, history (in french), and literature & culture (also in french) our hands were full man

on one hand that "pseudohumanities" post infuriates me bc there is legitimately good analysis being produced #OnHere and I've seen it dismissed as pseudohumanities.

on the other hand I've seen viciously incorrect and ahistorical analysis made by folks getting 10s of thousands of notes because they said it with a tone of authority, so it's not like the pseudohumanities critique is unfounded lmao

now that the world cup is out of the way can we focus on me instead

[an-ruraiocht]

which of these classical texts have you read?

the iliad, the odyssey, and the aeneid

the iliad and the odyssey, not the aeneid

the iliad only

the odyssey only

the aeneid only

the aeneid and the iliad, not the odyssey

the aeneid and the odyssey, not the iliad

I have read none of these

"what if I've read part of it" if it's a large enough part that you would consider yourself to Have Read It in general contexts, then it counts. if it's not, then it doesn't. only you can be the judge of that, but I'm not giving you a nuance button.

any translations count, but abridged retellings don't

obviously, there are lots of other classical texts out there. you might have read none of these and be an expert on greek tragedy. I'm not judging your classical knowledge so you don't need to tell me all that. I'm just curious about combos of these specific texts and their popularity, bc a post i just saw got me thinking about it
