[ID: A Naruto mangacap. Flashbacks show Naruto grinning cheerfully and then grimacing with effort as he stabs a poisoned wound with a kunai to bleed out the poison. Kakashi says, “... Tries his hardest, hoping someone will notice and give him a kind word or a pat on the back. That's his dream, and he's risked his life for it.”
Inari looks down with abashment, thinking about his father. Kakashi looks down, expression weary, and says, “I think one day he must have just gotten fed up with crying.” End ID]
Cries about him forever and an eternity

Modern adaptations of The Iliad and Odyssey and Persephone often feel so unimaginative and dull when they’re completely removed from the oral tradition context they were composed for. They’re poems written for the philosophical traditions of the ancient world, and they feel like fireside fables because they are; full of warning about piety to fickle and demanding gods and steeped in this old-world mythological logic that’s still so captivating.
It’s not the most enjoyable reading by any means, but I can recall and retell the story of Odysseus tricking the cyclops so easily, the way I couldn’t for even my favourite books. It’s written for storytelling, and it’s a bit of a lost art!
And you really do lose me when I read an adaptation of the classics and it’s got a surface layer of the myth with no poetry underneath. When you’re bogged down in the literal or mired in the traditions of modern narratives, you totally drain the magic from the thing.
