The Odyssey originally rhymed and was set to music. It wasn't a fucking BOOK

Date: July 20th, 2026 12:48 PM Author: 180 church building friendly grandma i have read it 3 times, so your poast is untrue.
i had a survey class on the epic in college. we read the iliad, the odyssey, the aeneid, don quixote, ulysses (joyce), and some poem called omeros by a negroid poet.
i'd read it once before that for pleasure, and i read it once since then. |

Date: July 19th, 2026 6:31 PM Author: sickened jet-lagged double fault It's easier to teach a kid to sing the lyrics to a song than to teach him to read and write. 1999 is a song we all heard as kids and we can also recite a good chunk of the lyrics better than we can recite shit we read in a book at any age
That's the power of using song, meter and rhyme to preserve oral tradition. It's also a form of error-checking that prevents anyone from tampering with the lyrics. That's why Homer was preserved during the 400 years Greek people went without writing. |

I think the Clique System originated as a sort of antidote subconsciously developed against the perceived existential threat of life-nullifying Poetry imo. Diskuss.

Date: July 19th, 2026 6:46 PM Author: Provocative bossy locus feces The Iliad is a redacted and edited performance text by an oral poet (Homer) consisting of a couple dozen of his most popular Homeric cinematic universe (Epic Cycle) set pieces. It was likely commissioned by an extremely rich/tyrannical fan who wanted other poets to be able to perform the pieces on demand. They used the newest tech for it: writing.
The Odyssey on the other hand was a written composition from the start by an Iliad fan-boy. |

Date: July 20th, 2026 12:36 PM Author: Low-t cheese-eating crotch The rhyming and melody was only necessary to pass it down through the generations. That way people who didn’t even understand it could still memorize it just like people memorize songs they don’t know the meanings to. Once it was written down that was no longer necessary (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883605&forum_id=2#50012030) |
