>Compared to the layered, poetic Greek originals, Roman adaptations like the Aeneid were more didactic and less ambiguous. The mythological depth of Homer was reduced in Roman popular culture to moral lessons or patriotic allegory.
>In the Roman Empire, simplified retellings of Homeric stories were sometimes used in schools, theater, or popular literature. These versions were stripped of complexity or nuance—sort of like a modern kids’ version of Shakespeare.
lmao

Meanwhile your ''nordic'' ancestors didn't even know what a book or a theater was, their entire cultural and social horizon was the mudhut and the half-starved cows shitting around it

The Romans also gave Achilles superpowers. The whole "he was dipped in the river Styx by his ankle so he would become INVINCIBLE" comes from them.

Uhm... yes?
S-Shut up Romecuck, ok?

I used to. Austically plowed the Dowling Method for several months and studied the vocab to the point where I was able to read regular texts and Martials epigrams, nothing high level like Ovid or Virgil though. Latin is quite easy to learn.

Forget those, can you read the Aryan language?

>Roman adaptations like the Aeneid were more didactic and less ambiguous.
The Aeneid was not an adaption and was written some 500-600 years after the works of Homer. Obviously they are going to be different.
>simplified retellings of Homeric stories were sometimes used in schools, theater, or popular literature
They did this before the Romans in Greece as well. What's your point? Adapting material for a medium which it is not normally in happens all the time.

American English is more stupid and forthright than Victorian prose. Is it axiomatic that more successful empires create less engaging literature?

But somehow jews are worse even though they enslaved and castrated you, right?

It's almost like losing a war doesn't make you bad or something?

Maybe 300 years ago there were still pockets of people speaking it, but I doubt you could find any true fluent Sanskrit speakers outside of remote Hindu monasteries. It's become utterly fossilized like ecclesiastical Latin
