What do I need to read in order to better understand the constant references in poetry? I try to enjoy it, and I know what the words mean, but the constant name drops and references to ancient myths/lit always confuses me
So far I got Ovid, and the bible. What else?
th Greeks
aeschylus, sophocles, euripides, homer
also some greek/roman histories.
