Homer

>Homer
>Virgil

Of course Homer is greater than Virgil. What's your point?

Stupid frogposter.

>Hesiod
>Homer

>Homeric.

My point is that it's Homerus and Virgilius, not Homer and Virgil. Also Ikaros instead of Icarus and Herakles instead of Hercules.

You could have actually made that point to start with rather than just greentexting like a retard.

>being this autistic

i bet you also think latinized versions of germanic words and names are proper use, too?

Not to mention is should be Homeros, or at least Ὅμηρος.

>mentioning virgil in the same breath as homer
>muh trojan fanfic

why do the old epics always give away huge plot points well in advance, like homer telling us patroclus ill die for achilles to go to battle and kill hector?

The plot of these stories, for the most part, would have already been known. The Greek poets and playwrights simply took myths that were well-circulated and then gave them a cohesive story with beautiful lines.

Because plot twists are for plebs

That's not a plot twist though..

>Ovid
>not Ovideomillius

Isn't it Ovidius?

There's always a dipshit in every philosophy class who tries to pronounce Sartre with a French accent and fails, but succeeds in covering everyone in phlegm and spittle.

That's you.

>he doesn't pronounce Sartre with a French accent
Are you American by any chance?

No it's not. Those are nominative forms; English doesn't use cases. Drop the endings, dummy.

Learn Greek and Latin already

Publius Ovidius Naso

Ovideo cassette player

Publi Ovidi Nasonis Metamorphoseon libri

On second thought I'll stick with Ovid

>homer is better than Virgil

Virgil is a much better writer

Homer and Virgil just sounds godawful

One makes me think of Homer Simpson and the other sounds like Virgin

In what way? The aeneid is boring as fuck, as is aeneas.

Homer was Greek, not Roman, you swine.

Well akshually it's "Ὅμηρος" and "Дocтoeвcкий" and "Žižek" and omg look at me I'm so smart and anglicization of names is totally purposeless and made up by dumb people for no real reason!

>Homer and Virgil just sounds godawful
Sounds like a personal problem.

It really should be Zhizhek though, properly anglicized.

>not sjisjek
If you're not spitting while saying the big Z's name, you're doing it wrong
