Latin Literature Tournament - Round 1

Propaganda for "The Carthaginian Cage Match" under the cut!

Apuleius Propaganda:

Cupid and Psyche... you all know it, you all love it

Moved back to Africa, married a milf, and got brought to court on charges of witchcraft. But no witchcraft, he's just built different

Seriously his defense speech is so fucking funny, you should read it if you haven't

Augustine Propaganda:

The Confessions is so good, guys. The Latin is just absolutely gorgeous

"Give me chastity and continence...but not yet." Legend.

He's so foundationally important for post-classical thought. If you're going to do any kind of serious reading in theology, analytical philosophy, or hermeneutics, you GOTTA read him

What remains today of Newton's fundamental breakthrough? Modern life, our system of education founded on the requirements of punctuality, scholastic exercises on the charts of train schedules, geographic maps—all this inculcates in us, from childhood, a very Newtonian idea of space and time. This is why we have such difficulty perceiving the absurdity of questions such as"What lies beyond the limits of the universe?" or "What existed before the creation of the world—or before the Big Bang?" We marvel at the apparent modernness of Saint Augustine, who was already addressing similar questions fifteen centuries ago: "Time did not exist before heavens and earth.” But few among us know or have really assimilated the Kantian critique of the concepts of space and time. Kant constructed this critique specifically to chart the boundaries between knowledge and faith, to free science from metaphysical presuppositions, to deliver geometry from the shadow of theology to which Newton had in fact ascribed it. For Kant, space and time are not things in themselves but "forms of intuition”—in other words, they constitute a canvas that allows us to decipher the existence of the world. According to Kant, things "in themselves" are neither in space nor in time. It is the human mind that, in the very act of perception, superimposes these categories, which are its own and without which perception would be impossible. This does not exactly mean that space and time are illusions or pure inventions of the human mind. These frameworks are imposed on us through empirical contact with nature and are not, therefore, "arbitrary.” They no more belong to things in themselves than they belong to the mind alone; rather, they exist because of the dialogue between the mind and things. They are, in the final analysis, an unavoidable product of motion itself by means of which the mind searches to apprehend—to understand—the outside world.

i just downloaded this app and you're one of the best ones i've followed! i love your page so much! I wonder if you're still open for requests? If you are, please post something about a connection that felt so forced and full of misunderstanding. But if you aren't, I don't really mind! I'm loving your page already anyway! Have a nice day :")

People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering.

Saint Augustine (354 – 430), Confessions (c. 397), Ch. X

Pissed because Augustine was definitely right when he said you had to learn Latin and Greek and Aramaic to talk about the Bible

Edit because I’m clearly stupid he said Hebrew not Aramaic 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

‘Grief darkened my heart’ (Lam. 5: 17). Everything on which I set my gaze was death. My hometown became a torture to me; my father’s house a strange world of unhappiness; all that I had shared with him was without him transformed into a cruel torment. My eyes looked for him everywhere, and he was not there. I hated everything because they did not have him, nor could they now tell me ‘look, he is on the way’, as used to be the case when he was alive and absent from me. I had become to myself a vast problem, and I questioned my soul ‘Why are you sad, and why are you very distressed?’ But my soul did not know what reply to give.

St. Augustine, The Confessions
