Good morning

[RB 60]

Good morning everyone

A few friends and myself are taking our cars to Boalsburg, PA. tomorrow (where the holiday of Memorial Day was started) for their annual car show and Memorial Day festivities. It's about a 2 hr. drive so I sure hope it doesn't rain. Driving a car with no top in the rain sucks! Weather is looking pretty good as of now, but it will be a bit cool on the way there. Sweatshirt is a must in the early mornings.

Good morning all. More work, The Staghorn hung under the front Oak tree and thrived. Now that the Oak is gone he just isn't doing well. Did some research and found that they don't like direct sunlight. So I am building a sun roof for him. I hope this works.

I think threads like this are a good idea, and Jade Dragon must be given credit for being the foremost proponent of civilized threads in this genre.

I recently started reading the the Iliad and the Odyssey. I can't remember if we read them in high school, but I felt that any educated person should have read them at least once by now. An intriguing backdrop to these landmarks of the western literary canon is what scholars call the Homeric Question.

The Homeric Question concerns the doubts and consequent debate over the identity of Homer, the authorship of the Iliad and Odyssey, and their historicity. The main subtopics of the Homeric Question are: "Who is Homer?"; "Are the Iliad and the Odyssey of multiple or single authorship?"; "By whom, when, where, and under what circumstances were the poems composed?"

Following the seminal work of Milman Parry, most classicists agree that, whether or not there was ever such a composer as Homer, the poems attributed to him are to some degree dependent on oral tradition, a generations-old technique that was the collective inheritance of many singer-poets.

The professor I am listening to makes a compelling case that the Iliad and the Odyssey were in fact composed by one source, a literary genius. The beauty and continuity of these epics points to a design by one person of remarkable imagination and literary skill, rather than a series of poems stitched and cobbled together from various and sundry bardic sources.
