Actually the version of the Illiad that have come back to us is an editorial work done in the times of the Alenxandria library, at which time most of the world that mattered spoke koiné, a somewhat simplied version of Greek (some purists would say a lesser version)... (for example, neo-testamental Greek is a somewhat an even more simplified form of koiné...). I even would not be surprised if uneducated koiné speakers of the time were not able to understand the text at all, and had to resort to plays and reciters to enjoy it...
Those who can actually read Ancient Greek quite well will find that what we call Homeric Greek is a mix of various acents used by the 800-700 BC, perhaps even earlier or later, and what those librarians did was trying to make a version the most consistent they could come up with... sometimes messing with it, adding things, that in their opinion, helped understand the text further, thence some of the repetitions of ideas in very few verses, sometimes erasing parts they deemed were alterations or pollutions from versions they considered not quite up to standard...
I think that the title of the diferent parts, and the division in 24 parts, was also their doing...
Anyway, is a book I love...
so perphaps, the opinion of several of my history teachers is quite valid, ie, that Christianism was the worst that could happen to Western spirit...
Or maybe they were far too Nitzchean (sp?)...
Imagine an America without Bible Belt, better still, imagine a Spanish empire without Inquisition where most of their wealth would've been invested in science instead of defending the Pope's interests in Europe...
Or even wilder, imagine a Roman empire still strong... yeah, I also think that Constantine was the worse that happened to them ole Romans...
someone once said that the classic Greeks were all about wars and homos...
strangely enough, as with most of this kind of wisdom, is quite accurate...
now seriously, donna tartt's quasi-quotations aside, i will have still to find passages of such violence and intensity as those found in the Illiad, the descripcions of the dry sun dried plain in front of the city, the way the deaths are described...
IMNSHO, I believe their main contribution to our culture is their literature. Western Literature starts with the Illiad and the Oddyssey, and its influence is still felt by us when reading TS Eliot, Cervantes, Pynchon, Goethe, Chaucer... Okay..
well, I will cut it short, cause if I start talking about Lucian of Samotrace, the Alexandrian poets, etc.. etc...
Me: Excuse I have just installed Suse Linux and cannot find where I should enter the parameters in order to use my internet account... IP guy (wanadoo spain): well, you know, the problem here is that LINUX IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE INTERNET...
A neighbour came, had a beer, showed me how to do it in less that two gulps, and showed me as well how to mount and dismount cd and zip units while drinking a second beer. This happened in early 2001.
Well, as my IRS papers will show, I and my girl-friend contribute to several causes... one of them is a small amount of money, I really can't afford more, to educational and health charities in India, since the fucking Indian gvt and their elite classes and middle classes are not doing shit about it. I also try to buy products from companies that deal justly with their suppliers... and well...
So yes, I kinda have a right to speak. Sorry if you've been offended my Indian friend.
These middle and high class dudes that claim that we know nothing of India and that their poor do not need water and food and decent living quarters make me laugh.
They feel offended if we state India it's a 3rd World Country that needs a huge reform... they feel offended if we point to the dismal conditions that a great part of their population must suffer...
It must be that they belong to that tiny percentage that sits nicely on top, beneffiting from the current status quo...
...just imagine someone putting a tracking device in your clothing that informs advertising agencies, thieves and robbers what your daily habits are, where do you go, how long do you spend there and what stuff do you read, listen to and speak to, what people do you meet, and not only what do you buy but what did you intend to buy checking your shopping list....
I don't the situation there in America, but here in Spain and in most of the EU, that block would end up in jail for a least a good ten years... besides the fine would be astronomical...

.... and the fact that they keep themselves away from us is the proof of their intelligence and common sense...
How is it that anyway I don't like it?
Remember... "May yoy live interesting times"... is a Chinese curse...
... a store where assistants KNOW what they are talking about, KNOW what they are selling and actually give a shit about getting your computer to work more efficiently and without a glitch....
Hmmmm sounds like bloody heaven to me....
I didn't know I was so annoying. My last post. Been nice being with you all fellas!!!!
decisions are taken for you...
On the other hand, when will all this misleading titles cease?
I mean, I've almost lost my life twice in near-crash plane accidents due to material-fatigue (I ignore whether this is the correct term). I mean in one of them part of the fuselage tore... in the other some piece of the hydraulic system caused some sort of havoc...

....ah now I understand....
never understimate the advantages of reading articles linked....
but,what is it for?
WAR IS PEACE...
etc...
THE BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!!!
In few years we'll be wondering what the world would've been like if someone had shot BG in the head...
the day teachers normally devote to explain how bad is cheating. How plagiarism, copying and lying will not only get you expelled from the university but ruin your reputation forever?
ooooh yeahhh..
WAR IS PEACE...
and then...
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU...
I wonder if 50 years hence somebody might be wondering what have the world would've been like if somebody had shot Bill Gates...
Will it prevent the laptop from overheating when its using is surfing pr0n sites?
...what about forcing these script-kiddies to repair the damage they've done... thus they might even learn some proper programming and might devote themselves to something more useful and profitable for society....
hmmm... too many "mights".
