Great epics
 

So, has anyone considered retelling the great epics in web comic form? Like horatius at the bridge, or beowulf? There's some good stuff there and it should just lay there languid.

No, but I've been thinking of doing an Iliad rap for quite a while.

Clicky click.

Why do I find that so ungodly hilarious?

*psst...it's not because I'm a classics major!*

Oh god that was rediculous. And very funny.

An award given for Meister, the genius who shares!

...the ZOMG ANOTHER POTENTIAL WEBCOMIC ADDICTION award!

Sankya fer the sharing, buddy! That was hilarious.

Coincidentally, and it crossed my mind right after I saw the whole "Iliad X," the Iliad in space line, one of my favorite sci-fi books IS more or less the Iliad in space. Ilium and Olympos. Granted, those books actually make some SENSE, but enh.

And an Iliad rap...*vomits*

The Iliad is the world's oldest extant rap anyway, so you can kindly unvomit.

It is a poem, originally improvised, sung by an illiterate poet and accompanied by song, that set forth the greatest virtues of its age and people. What do you think rap is?

This doesn't speak so well for our culture, granted, but that's beside the point.

No I mean, Odysseus was all about the bitches and whores.

That too. And Achilles got some seriously pimp threads.

Christ, I'm such a nerd.
