Why did we have to lose so much Greek writing?

>finished the Greeks

I don't believe you

I bet you haven't even read half of them

Also you forgot to read the Romans and Roman era Greeks

You ain't finished, kid. Have you read Plotinus? Pindar? Did you even read any of the Romans: Livy, Virgil, Ovid, Cicero, Statius, etc etc? Get back in there frog.

Literature is not some linear progression to be 'completed'. You have played too many videos games.

Augustine boring? Dante boring? Medieval romances like King Arthur and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight boring?

this

also this. antiquity is dope but christian philosophy & middle ages stuff is awesome too

who are you looking forward to getting to in the renaissance? descartes? machiavelli? it culminates in kant, that's not exactly a vacation
>then the fun kicks off again w/hegel

you'll miss those good times w/the greeks. this is a good read btw

You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. Read whatever you find intriguing.

The next step is memorizing the greeks.

Most of the Church Fathers ARE Greeks

Any chart on the "boring Christians and self-righteous Middle Ages literature"?
