#GreekLiterature

discussion

Today’s discussion is about Greek literature.  When I think of Greek literature, I think of Homer, Sophocles, Plato, Aesop (yes, Aesop was Greek), Aristophanes and others.  Have I read all of their works, not yet, but I have read quite a bit.  I’ve mostly read Sophocles, Aristophanes, Plato and I learned about Aesop’s Fables at some point during my schooling.  I’m slowly getting through the Iliad and the Odyssey.  Recently, I loaded my Nook with classic Greek literature, what is left of it anyways.  A lot of classic Greek literature is sadly lost and fragmented (incomplete), but what survives can easily be found with some patience and research.  A lot of you may be wondering why I love Greek literature, it’s more poetic and lyrical, it really tells a story, and is just more beautiful.  Project Guttenburg is an excellent source for classic real Greek literature.  What do you think of Greek literature?
