hi

hi

Hi

hi!

hello

not bad

Absolutely horrendous

It wasn't too bad

Alright

I got it done, but it was super confusing

im all caught up and it was ok

Maybe slightly

But mostly not

i couldn’t get through all of it in time

I speed-read it all last night

I read It an hour ago...

it’s a old style of writing, so rather long winded with not very much content

I finished it one minute ago

lol

I understood it at least

That usually means that you got nothing out of it lucas

I took, like 2 hours to read it, spanned across two days. It was still so confusing...

i thought he said he read it in one hour

I think it took me an hour

I can't pay attention to audiobooks

I’m back

what?

Find what on you ptube?

Youtube*

Ah ok…

Yes

yeah

Ah ok then

There is an app on the iPhone which does this way more conveniently

i don’t believe I said that...

Tolkien describing a tree be like

*ent

Both

this is modern English, but not everyday spoken English

I agree

so it's really strange to comprehend

audiobook

It was fine for meI guess I don't read enough modern books?

the 19th century I got really used to, because I've read quite a few books from that time. Some of the words and phrases are new to me, but it's a lot more comprehendible for me. Amiya, I practically don

that sounds terrible

I could never do that

't read modern stuff, too

I’m the utter opposite of you leah

I thought I would hate it because of all the describing (I have no patience and I like reading epics) but this was actually ok

It’s somewhat annoying, but not the worst

Just a bit much

More than a bit

I dislike audio books for the same reason that I dislike movies based on books. It's someone else's interprepation

Um what?

Don’t they just narrate the books word for word?

Whatcha talking about leah

Oh ok

But well… eh

Yeah

here I get someone else's interpretation of what the characters sound like

Leah I don’t think you know exactly what an audiobook is… maybe you listened to an abridged version?

Bruh

Leah you’re points make no sense to me

No, Ben

Your*

because its basically just somebody else reading the same book, while movies usually condense the plot while changing it sometimes

Regular book

Just read aloud

Yeah ben

Are there chapters that are longer than this one?

You’re right

unabriged

Well…

I feel like I’d be an excellent narrator

yes

my mom always offers to play an audio book when we're driving, I always say no because I would much rather read the book on my own. I can't read in the car, though, because I get carsick. So we end up just sitting in silence :)

mentes?

Antinous

Agamemnon is dead

leader of suitors

Soooooooo obvious

How dare you think we would forget this

Luc, do you take us for fools, or perhaps goldfish?

Helen

Helen

Helen

Helen

Helen

helen

helen

Helen (guys, can we please try to not enter early?)

Duh

Helen

That one was pretty obvious

If you know anything about the trojan war its obvious

Wow read it in mythology

We not wow*

That photo could also double as the feast in Sparta, not just the suitors

Yeah though ben

ok

no

yes

They were having a feast for Poseidon in sparta

Clytemnestra, Aegisthus, and Agamemnon

I advise not putting you finger anywhere close to the enter button

Agamemnon, Clytemnestra and Aegisthus

agamemnon, agamemnon’s wife, and aegisthus

Agamemnon? maybe Jocasta? I'm not sure if it's the scene I'm thinking of, but maybe...

I completely forgot

Clytemnestra, Aegisthus, Agamemnon

aegisthus, clytemnestra, Agamemnon?

Why does someone ALWAYS put it in early.

agamemnon and i forot the rest

Jocasta was the wife of odiepus

EVERY, SINGLE, TIME.

JUTS STOP.

Just*

Aegisthus,Clyemenstrra, and agamemnon

he has repeated so many times

(Homer)

OK

flowers, party?, suiters?

penelope weaving the thread while the suitors are waiting for her to finish

Penelope and the suitors??

The suitors pestering Penelope

suitors forcing penelope to finish weaving and one holding flowers

Is this by any chance Panelepe weaving and then unweaving by night her cloth? Might the people on the right be her many suitors?

Penelope working on the dress she would undo at night, while those ugly horrible guys try to woo her to get married. Damn them to hell.

Penelope is weaving during the day while the suitors are bringing her flowers, and trying to win her over

Patrick, you sound like telemachus

Yes

but its the underworld, not hell

Ok sure ben

lol

👌🏿

the suitors are just like "WILL YOU FINISH ALREADY?!"

Those are the suitors?

uhm….. that's what the suitors are....

They're the same people Patrick lol

what.

Ok then

👌🏿

uh...

Hmm..

are you seriously chewing a spoon

One is killing their husband, the other wants to kill the people who want to be their husband

One wants to kill her husband, one wants him to come back home

thats pretty much it

one kills her husband, the other remains loyal to him even when he doesn't return for YEARS

Who, me ben?

one loveh husbad, the wther kills him

yes

Yes

One of them fell in love with a suitor, and the other one is trying to stay away from the suitors as much as she can

ok

To be honest, clymnestra killing her husband was pretty justified

Eh

I'm just really curious - do the suitors really think that Penelope is going to love them if they eat all her son's food. I mean, would it not be more logical for them to try and do nice things for her? Bring food, ask her out, etc?

no

But agmemnon was menelaus’s brother

its implied that they are trying to do that, but she keeps denying them

Mr. Travers, you missed my reply

They are being rude because she can’t do anything about it, and also they are buttholes

Yes

yes

nope

ah

I found it easily

Sparta

the suitors hate him!

them

yeah, I get that, but can't Telemachus be king?

He’s too young

This isn’t china

Haven't there been, like, 6 yo kings in history?

Only in china I think

Why couldn't Telemachus be king earlier

Nobody knew of ch8na

no, the last Roman Emperor became Emperor at age 6. Rome is really close to Greece

Really? I think you’re not right

No patrick

not only in china

In England it has happened multiple times

oh, yeah, I think I remember something like that

Yeah

I’ll ask

she doesnt know

no

Bye

thanks!

Bye!
