1st Quarter exams are finally over and I am starting a new blog. It has been a couple of years since I last updated my previous one.
Right now, I'm big fan of Greek literature, thanks to my English teacher, my friends, and the awesome story of Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson". So, aside my journals and media sharings, this week's posts will most likely be dedicated to Greek literature. (P.S. If you're Greek, and you're reading some wrong info. that I posted, tell me. I'd be happy. Want to talk about it too? Sure! comment below.)
I have read fictional books but Greek stories are truly timeless...
My English class' lessons reminded me of my childhood fantasies and imaginations.
I would read books about Greek literature when I was still in elementary.
Greek Literature is quite fascinating. Though some parts are not for children, the stories are very original, interesting, and beautifully written. I enjoy reading it while savoring my food.
There are Greek legends, myths, and epics. Some stories are hilarious, scary, and of course, romantic.
Zeus,Poseidon, Hades, Aphrodite, Athena, Hermes, and Apollo are the most common and most familiar names out of the 12 major gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus. In the stories, you will actually see that these gods and goddesses fight even among themselves, love one another (including being incest), forbiddingly love humans, and get angry at humans. They even play war and had a beauty contest...
which, sadly, resulted to a war. Have you read the "Illiad" and the "Odyssey" by"Homer"?
Try.
