    Simon Sarris Retweeted Bo Winegard

    Tell me, why do you weep and grieve so sorely when you hear the fate of the Argives, hear the fall of Troy? That is the gods’ work, spinning threads of death through the lives of mortal men, and all to make a song for those to come. (Alcinous, The Odyssey)https://twitter.com/EPoe187/status/1192446399465558016 …

    Simon Sarris added,

    Bo Winegard @EPoe187
    Life is a tragicomedy. Nietzsche perhaps more than anyone understood this. In our tragedy there must be music and there must be jokes.

        (Odysseus, shipwrecked, swims to the shore of Phaeacia. King Alcinous treats this anon as a guest. During the bard's festive recounting of the Trojan war, Odysseus is overcome with grief, and reveals his true identity, as he was in the war, and has been lost at sea for ten years)

        What, no citation of the translator!? 😉Translations of the Odyssey have been bug talk lately in the Classics community (after @EmilyRCWilson ‘s fantastic translation came out 2 or so years ago). Beautiful lines.

        Tweet char limit! It's Fagles, but I actually like the wording here better from Mandelbaum: > The gods brought this about: for men they wove the web of suffering, that men to come might have a theme to sing. I don't have Wilson's, but its very end of Book 8 if you wanna look

        Big talk! Not sure if the bugs are talking about the Odyssey.
