The elitist that doesn’t know Ovid was Roman, not Greek.
I had to quickly check the wikipedia because I thought I misremembered it.
Using the term ‘elitism’ when describing yourself is such a huge fucking red flag
A person who is new to the job and stressed out warrants the creation of a god complex? How bizarre. I feel like you’ve stumbled upon a uniquely misanthropic thought pattern.
Plot twist: he was actually looking for 177013.
That was my first thought, I’m too far gone
I thought that was the joke too
Fake: Ovid was Roman
Gay: Ovid
“God, modernist literary fiction is so plebian.” - anon probably.
Next he’ll ask for “ulysses” and get mad when pointed to James Joyce instead of Homer.
The Kafka story is the singular (sis) and Ovids is the plural (ses). Wikipedia disambiguate does not list them on the same pages, which is confusing.
You can tell things are all right when anon keeps making shit up. “World keeps turning, sun keeps burning, anon keeps yearning.”
This post ironically reads like a Kafka story
Elite?
looks up from OV Epic of Gilgamesh stone tablets
This shit right here was written before the word „elite“ even existed
smh
Someone please explain?
I went to Kafka’s house in Prague and they had The Country Doctor in several languages. I wanted it as a souvenir so I bought it in the original German even though I don’t speak German. I also wanted to read it, though, so I bought an English copy too, assuming the translation would be closer than to Spanish, my native language. But I also wanted to gift it to an old teacher, so I bought it in Spanish, as well. My girlfriend then arrived and told me she would like a Swedish copy since she’s learning the language. I went to pay and the girl at the counter immediately goes “oh, wow, you speak so many languages”.
