Audiobooks are not literature. Take it to the pod cast and radio forum.

So I've been reading a lot of mythology and folklore recently and I always wondered why Egyptian mythology wasn't as well known as Greek and Norse. Now after reading a book on it I understand why, there was absolutely no consistency or agreement at any point in Egyptian history as to what exactly any God was or did. Hell, there is not even a consensus as to whether Horus was one god or two gods.

I'm fairly sure it would be the same for Norse mythology if we had more sources than like the Eddas. Greek mythology is pretty inconsistent too if you look at who is related to who.

I'd like to re-read the Oedipus cycle. I've already read and own the Paul Roche translations, so I'd like to read someone else, if there's translations with a higher regard. I've heard Seamus Heaney's Antigone is good? Any suggestions, lit friends?

Theatre is hell. The way theatre directors and producers and actors treat the classics of their supposed art form is proof enough that they don't even like it themselves. It's the biggest scam in the arts

depends on the director I guess. I’ve seen a super minimalist black box-type version of Antigone that was incredibly good.

I once walked out of a version of the tin drum that was inexplicably a loving musical where one of the repeated refrains was 'viva la complexity'.
