We Christians created FANTASY! We took the horrific and perversity of paganism and romanticized it into entertaining rich stories. That's who we are.
Sadly, pagans have realized the success of it and have glammed on, actually stealing it, and claiming it all their own. We Christians today are foolishly letting them!
They use it to proselytize now! Ever taking us away from Christ! Dissipation!
Return to telling stories of Church History, evangelism and church planting!
Check out my substack link and a TTRPG game setting to do exactly that. I'm building out genres too! Dark Ages, Post-Apoc, scifi... then on to Gothic, West African Squadron, Conquistadors...
Concerning Greek Mythology... it has been re-packaged by us Christians... and through that lens... we admire it. But to know the true lives of pagans, Greek sodomy & slavery... even they CONVERTED extensively to Christianity!
I've read three of the translations. Well, sort of. I've read the Fitzgerald, the Lattimore, and I tried to read the Emily Wilson translation. While I would agree that the Lattimore translation is the superior translation, I enjoyed the Fitzgerald the most. I tried reading the Wilson translation but had to stop a quarter of the way in. It was so cringe I couldn't continue. I actually took it to the fire pit out back and burned it, page by page.
He's very modern and openly so but Lombardo's translation is very fun.
Thank you! I have wanted to know which translation to read.
