Who loves the classics?

Well, there's always the Odyssey, for starters. That's a good one.

But the Iliad is way better. There are two types of people in this world -- Odyssey people, and Iliad people. And Iliad people are better. Because I'm one of them.

But, I mean, really -- does it get any better? And talk about not emo! I mean, what, Achilles kind of acts like a little emo bitch at the beginning, but then he comes to his senses; he doesn't mope when his friend dies! He kicks some ass!

Also, Tacitus. That's really all the classical stuff I've read. BTW -- "Classical" or "the classics" generally refers to Greek and Roman works. Not just great literature in general.
