I hear Apollodorus's Library is a better initiate into Greek Mythology, anyone care to shed some light with us?

Depends what you want to read for. I'm sure it friends on the translation, but I remember Apollodorus reading like a dull Wikipedia article more often than not. As an intro to Greek lot or mythology, I'd suggest any book of collected sources before any one author.
Just don't go Bulfinch and you'll be fine
>>7414694
Only if you love British fanfics and hate Greek mythology
Moby Dick
The Twelve Chairs.
>>7415011
What do you like about this painting?
Also, what are the two in black doing? Especially the one pointing?
>>7415016
I've always found flagellation to be a powerful testament to faith, and specifically to the awe of God. To see it performed en masse and for it to capture the attention of an entire city, seems to me to be a living expression of God.
The pointing one would be leading the crowd through the city and the other is most likely reciting from the Bible.

Either Savage Detectives or Voyage au bout de la nuit...
Currently reading Mason & Dixon and It's quickly becoming my favorite novel, though I'll have to see in retrospective after I finish it. So far I'd have to go with either The Trial or Blood Meridian.
>>7414754
just glad it wasn't that hack fraud Manet's Olympia.
The Savage Detectives
Dutch Proverbs is such a neat painting. Every little thing in the pic refers to an actual contemporary proverb, and it's fun to go through them all and try to see which are similar to ones we still use.
I had to do a gay little project on it for an undergrad history class.

Lanark - Alasdair Gray

>The Dog
>a painting done on the walls of a house by an isolated, nihilistic, deaf man raging against the world
the background alone makes me feel like the Dog is in pain or dying and looking towards the sky for a reason why it must suffer.
It's my all-time favorite painting too.
Book is probably Ulysses
>>7415275
Does anyone know what's going on in this painting? How are they able to stand in that water? Are they dead and in the afterlife?
>>7414735
nah that'd be you faggot
trying to impress people on an anonymous image board with your shitty taste in paintings and books
>>7415311
those are just minute waves. Could be that they're on a sand bar.
You could always read it as the afterlife tho
