Today I was working through some excerpts of Homerus' Illias for my finals. And wow, the text, an oooooold text it is, came alive. Sometimes those old texts in a dead language just stay just that - dead. But 'cause i have been working with this text for 10 months or so, i now could really read it and understand it as a story: the feelings are human, the dialogues are human, - very basic human emotions, nothing made up too much, just a story that was kept available for such a loooong time. I'm grateful for it - the opportunity to have acces to human history in this way - directly.
beyey,
and stay safe, everyone!
