Sooo decided to treat myself this year and keep completing my epic cycle series!
Since I already had Iliad and Odyssey in the legendary modern Greek translation and purchased around a year ago the Butler translation (because the book was gorgeous 😍) realized I had to keep going so here goes
"Homerics" or "Epic Cycle" with the fragments of epic cycle and other works originally attributed to Homer including Vatrachomyomachia, Titanomacy, Oedipus Cycle, Thebais, Epigonoi, Cypria, Aethiopis, Little Iliad, Iliou Persis, Nostoi and many more (gosh so many in that small book!)
Quintus Smyrnaeus "Posthomerica" in 3 parts
Euripides "Trojan Women" and "Hecuba" because we want some critical take on the war too from the realm of "ancient adaptations"
And last but not least I thought why not
Apollonius Rhodius "Argonautica" because the epic cycle is one thing but let's see the trip that was partially playing its role to the whole thing hahaha 😆
Because nothing starts the year better than re-reading awesome books especially when they include both the original text and some really nice translations! 👌🏻
At least as far as the Greek sources go I am gathering stuff hahaha 😆 soon will add the Latin ones.
