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

Date: July 20th, 2026 12:48 PM Author: Disturbing Soggy Parlor 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. (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883605&forum_id=2#50012071) |

Date: July 19th, 2026 6:31 PM Author: Peach theater fat ankles 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. (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883605&forum_id=2#50010691) |

Date: July 19th, 2026 6:46 PM Author: citrine autistic location faggot firefighter 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. (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883605&forum_id=2#50010738) |
